After a busy few weeks on the road, the whole team are back to discuss the star-studded entry lists for Kentucky, Badminton and Belton. Naturally everyone has a different opinion on which horses and riders are the ones to watch … Which horses are you tipping for the major spring events? Let us know on social media @EventingPodcast and be sure to leave us a review on iTunes.
Dark Horses in 2018!
The team take a look at some of the Dark Horses to watch in 2018. There are ‘The Returners’ the big guns who head back to the top of the International scene after a bit of time on the sidelines and specifically the horses who are perhaps flying under the radar but are expected to make a big splash this year.
There are a number of young French superstars coming through the ranks and a couple more reasons to keep a very close eye on the Japanese team as we head towards WEG & Tokyo.
Diarm sticks with following the Tom Carlile camp to find the next superstar and Nicole has a couple of British hopes (as always!).

In an EquiRatings Special, Sam & Diarm discuss the EquiRatings approach to Risk Management in Eventing and what they are trying to achieve with the ERQI.
Kicking Off 2018! First Episode of the Season
We’re back! The first episode of the 2018 season features a discussion of the new dressage scoring and which horses will benefit, which horses changed hands in the off season, and what we can expect early in the year as combinations look to qualify for the World Equestrian Games. Diarm’s sister also stops by for a pop quiz, and pancakes somehow feature prominently.
We are starting an Eventing Podcast Playlist for 2018, so be sure to let us know on social media which songs you love to listen to when you’re hacking, getting pumped up for cross country, or dancing at the competitor’s party. We also want to know your favourite quick and easy recipes to cook in the lorry — one pot and in 15 minutes or less!

It’s the off season which means the team will be talking to riders all winter long and asking burning questions in our Locker Room Talk series. First up we have French team rider Tom Carlile!
Tom takes us through the 2017 season, including the high of setting an Event Rider Masters record with Upsilon and the low of things not going to plan at Strzegom. He is more motivated than ever for 2018 and shares his exciting plans for the season.
We also surprise Tom with a quick-fire quiz and discover his love for mares. You have to listen to find out which mare he would have in his yard if he could choose any in the world!
Thanksgiving Week Special! Adelaide & Ocala Review
Nicole, Jenni & Diarm look back on the final two big events in the 2017 season. Clarke Johnstone & Balmoral Sensation lived up to being hot favourites down under as they took their first 4* title. Jenni correctly predicted their wire to wire victory and to cap off a great week Hannah Sue Burnett & Harbour Pilot’s Ocala victory meant that she overtook Diarm in the #PodPicks team standings as well.
With Thanksgiving in the States this Thursday the team discuss their ideal dinner guests (including Andrew Cooper & Penelope Cruz!) and Diarm dishes out some advice…
Balmoral Sensation’s win at the weekend also added him to a list of very elite horses who have never been out of the top 10 in their four or more runs at the highest level, check them out on the EquiRatings blog here.
There is lots coming up on the Eventing Podcast in the next few weeks, make sure you keep up to date with all of the latest news on Facebook & Twitter.
Fun in the Sun! Adelaide & Ocala Preview Show
The team talk through their picks for the last 4* of the year as the key contenders head Down Under to Adelaide. With Ocala also taking place this weekend it is all Fun in the Sun and the scene is set for a fantastic end to the 2017 season.
Sam rocks his Australian accent, Nicole & Jenni both discover Andrew Cooper on Google while Diarm is backing Balmoral Sensation to take a big win in Adelaide.
Balmoral Sensation has jumped clear in every one of his 10 long format CCI runs….he had 2 poles down in the special event that is the second round of jumping in Rio. There won’t be two rounds of jumping at Adelaide – will Clarke secure his first 4* victory?
