Six 9-Year-Old Eventers to Watch This Season

In this episode of the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast, we take a closer look at six rising stars in the eventing world—9-year-old horses who are already making their mark and could be the ones to follow this season. These young talents have put in impressive performances and are on track for big things in 2025.

Highlights Include:

MGH Zabaione – Padraig McCarthy's exciting ride made history as the first Irish horse to win the prestigious CCI4*-S 8/9 YO class at Blenheim. He heads into the season as the highest-rated 9-year-old in the world.
Cooley Mosstown – Caroline Harris' horse is one of the fastest in the sport and has an incredible cross-country record, jumping clear in every one of his international starts.
Corimiro – A top prospect for Sarah Bullimore, Corimiro already has a CCI3* win under his belt and a strong finish at Boekelo's CCI4*-L.
Kiarado d'Arville – Lara de Liedekerke-Meier's ride had a standout season in 2024, including three international wins and a dressage test that scored just 20.8 at Kronenberg.
Jaguar's Duende – The highest-rated 9-year-old in the U.S., Sharon White's mare put in a strong performance at Blenheim and is one to keep an eye on for the season ahead.
C-Let's Dance van de Beemd– Laura Collett's young star rounds out the list after producing the best CCI3* score of 2024 with a 20.5 at Cornbury.

With a mix of speed, consistency, and serious potential, these horses are set to make waves in 2025.
