Burgham International Preview Show

It's one of the most beloved stops on the British eventing calendar — and this year's Burgham International, supported by Project Pony, boasts a huge entry list with top contenders, European hopefuls, and rising stars. Nicole is joined by Diarm, Catherine, and Spike for a classic preview show as they dive into the form, stats, and stories behind the scenes.

Episode Highlights:

What makes Burgham special: Warm Northern hospitality, a family-run feel, and consistently massive entry numbers make Burgham a rider and fan favourite.
Rosalind vs Halo: Can Oliver Townend's Cooley Rosalent defend her title — or will Piggy March and Halo steal the spotlight?
Emily King on the rise: Valmy Biats has podiumed here two years running. Could this be Emily's breakout year for a senior team call-up?
Section D depth: JL Dublin headlines, but strong entries like Sarah Bullimore's Corimiro and Yaz Ingham's Gypsie Du Loir make this a hotly contested class.
The dark horse picks: Izzy Taylor's Barrington Alice, Tom Jackson's HH Moonwalk, and Cassie Sanger's Redfield Fire all get nods as ones to watch.
European selection implications: With Blenheim looming, who's peaking at the right time — and who might choose a Burghley campaign instead?
