  • Willberry Special
    Jun 20 2026

    There are some stories that stay with the sport forever.

    This week, Nicole shines a light on Hannah's Willberry Wonder Pony charity as it celebrates 10 years of making an extraordinary impact. At Badminton, Nicole catches up with Hannah's mum Rachel Francis and trustee Miles Toulson-Clarke to reflect on Hannah's story, the community that rallied around her and the legacy that continues to grow today.

    Following Hannah's osteosarcoma diagnosis at just 17, Willberry became far more than a mascot. What began as one young rider sharing her journey has gone on to fund vital research, grant life-changing wishes and support families facing impossible circumstances.

    This is a conversation about horses, determination, community and the difference one person can make.

  • 2026 Luhmühlen Preview Show
    Jun 17 2026

    One withdrawal and suddenly the whole conversation looks different.

    This week Nicole, Annie and Ali preview Luhmühlen, build their Eventing Manager teams and try to work out where the value now sits in a five-star that suddenly feels much more open.

    There's debate over strategy, discussion around combinations arriving with form at the right time, and plenty of disagreement over where to spend the budget.

    Plus, attention turns to a seriously competitive German National Championship class, Aachen implications start creeping into the conversation, and there are a few predictions that may age brilliantly… or not at all.

    Highlights
    • Eventing Manager strategy at Luhmühlen
    • Who benefits from Izilot DHI's withdrawal
    • Caroline Harris and D.Day's case
    • Five-star podium predictions
    • German National Championship contenders
    • Four-star combinations to watch
    • Eyes turning towards Aachen

  • Defender Bramham Review Show 2026
    Jun 16 2026

    Bramham feels like one of those moments in the season where things stop being hypothetical.

    Nicole and Spike look back on a weekend that answered some questions, created a few more, and left plenty of combinations heading into the second half of the year with momentum.

    There's reaction to Bubby Upton and It's Cooley Time defending their title after a difficult few months, a brilliant result for Selina Milnes, and discussion around the horses that left Yorkshire feeling like they belong in bigger conversations.

    Plus, Tom McEwen and JL Dublin edge the four-star short, the under-25 picture starts to take shape, and there's plenty of reflection on why Bramham still holds such an important place in the calendar.

    Highlights

    • Bubby Upton and It's Cooley Time bounce back
    • Selina Milnes' big result
    • Four-star short reaction
    • Under-25 combinations impress
    • Which horses changed the conversation
    • Why Bramham still matters
    • Eyes already turning towards Luhmühlen
