The British Eventing Show: A Christmas Conversation with British Eventing

Between Christmas and New Year is always a strange pause. The horses still need doing, the calendar for next season is already filling up, and yet it's the one moment in the year where everyone takes a breath and looks around.

In this Christmas special, Nicole brings together an all-star panel to reflect on 2025, from personal milestones and big championship moments to confidence wobbles, comeback stories and the quieter wins that matter just as much. It's an honest conversation about perspective, community, and why eventing is as much about the people as it is the results, before attention inevitably turns to championship season and what's coming next.

Highlights

• Personal and professional highlights from 2025, including championship highs and lessons learned along the way
• How family, perspective and confidence shape performance at the top level
• British Eventing's year in numbers, participation growth and behind-the-scenes progress
• Why community matters, from grassroots riders to five-star finish lines
