The Boekelo Review Show

Boekelo delivered again. Ninety starters, drama from the first phase to the last, and one of the biggest four-star fields of the season, it was everything we've come to expect from the Dutch classic.

Nicole is joined by owner and eventing superfan Peter Cattell to relive a memorable weekend, from the atmosphere and crowds (and yes, the beer tents) to the performances that shaped the result. Laura Collett and Count Onyx impressed early, Padraig McCarthy and MGH Zabaione proved their progress, and Lara de Liedekerke-Meier's victory with Kiarado d'Arville underlined why she's now the winningest rider in the world this season.

They talk through the highs, the heartbreaks, and the small details that made the difference, from Laura's 15-penalty drama to the precision it takes to finish on your dressage score at Boekelo.

Highlights Include

Boekelo atmosphere: 35,000 fans, 35 hospitality tents, and one perfect autumn weekend
Dressage breakthroughs for Laura Collett and Padraig McCarthy
Cross-country shakeups and the decisive 15-penalty controversy
Show jumping that changed everything, and why Lara's patience paid off
Reflections on what makes Boekelo such a proving ground for future stars

Guests
Peter Cattell - Owner of MGH Zabaione and long-time eventing supporter
