Riders to Watch 2025 presented by Equilume

It's time to talk riders. With the 2025 season just getting underway, we're looking beyond the headlines to spotlight the riders set to shape the year ahead.

Nicole Brown, Diarm Byrne, and Spike Milligan return to throw down their predictions—from established stars chasing gold to breakout talents building momentum. Who's peaking at the right time? Who's flying under the radar? And who could top the world rankings by season's end?

Highlights:

Championship Calls – Can Laura Collett finally land individual gold? Could Ros Canter or Yasmin Ingham take the European title on home soil?
World Number One Debate – The case for Tim Price, Harry Meade, and a wildcard pick from across the pond (Boyd Martin, anyone?).
Depth vs. Brilliance – What really counts when it comes to FEI points, and who's built the horsepower to stay at the top?
Next Gen Watchlist – Introducing the young guns you'll be hearing a lot more about: Oscar Fitzgerald, Tom Nestor, Izzy Cook, and more.

Guests:
Nicole Brown – Ready to rein in the chaos and name names.
Diarm Byrne – Letting the data do the talking (mostly).
Peter "Spike the Vet" Milligan – Weighing in between vet calls and nappy changes.

Three categories. Endless opinions. Some risky predictions. This is your front-row seat to the names you'll be seeing all season long.
