“Where Eventing Lives” Welcome back to Go Eventing, the podcast where the heart, soul, and stories of the eventing world come to life. The spotlight this week is on the Defender Burghley Horse Trials — one of the most iconic stops on both the British and global eventing calendar — and our hosts this week join you from a very... unique studio! The conversation highlights the significance of horse welfare and the role of the ground jury in protecting both horses and riders, while also celebrating young talents who are quickly climbing the ranks. With team shoutouts, personal anecdotes, plenty of humor, and a touch of exasperation woven in, this recap captures the passion and spirit of eventing at its best. 🔎What’s Inside Episode 15?
