6 Best Eventing Podcasts

1. EquiRatings Eventing Podcast

Play
Website Apple Spotify YouTube Episodes
Data sets the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast apart from every other show on this list. Host Nicole Brown leads event previews, post-event roundtables, and athlete interviews alongside analysts Diarmuid Byrne and Sam Watson. EquiRatings is a sports data company, and the analysis here goes beyond opinion into cross-country statistics and win probabilities. That statistical layer is what no other podcast on this list offers. The Inside Burghley behind-the-scenes series runs each autumn, giving regular listeners access to five-star event management from the inside. Taken together, these formats make it the most complete eventing audio resource for a global audience following five-star equestrian competition.

Some listener reviews flag audio quality as inconsistent, particularly in live recordings from busy event venues. For many, the analytical depth compensates easily for that tradeoff. Coverage tilts toward UK and European five-star events, with Badminton and Burghley getting the deepest treatment on the list. The show added Annie Bishop as a regular US-based contributor, bringing a North American perspective to the data-driven analysis. Grassroots riders will find relevant content too, as the team's stated range runs from local horse trials to championship eventing. The show is built for listeners who want to argue about dressage scores and cross-country time, not just follow results.MORE Hosts Nicole Brown, Diarm Byrne

2. Major League Eventing Podcast

Play
Website Apple Spotify YouTube Episodes
Major League Eventing Podcast is the only show here built by working eventers outside any governing body or data organization. Robby Bowersox now leads the long-form interview format his parents Karen and Rob established in 2018. Conversations span every level, from young professionals launching their careers to experienced coaches and officials. Unlike the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast, which anchors episodes in performance data, this one stays at the personal story level. It exists to draw out the human side of building a life in eventing. Anyone wanting to understand eventing culture from the inside will find this the most natural entry point on the list.

Isolated fans and riders newer to the sport often cite this show as essential for staying connected. Listeners describe it as a lifeline when living far from any active eventing scene. Each episode follows a recognizable pattern. Robby introduces the guest, who traces their path into eventing, and the conversation flows naturally from there. Karen Sulecki Bowersox remains active behind the scenes, preserving the welcoming community spirit the show was built on. The coverage skews heavily toward the North American eventing scene and rarely reaches beyond the US. Listeners focused on the European five-star circuit may find the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast a better fit.MORE Hosts Rob Bowersox, Karen Sulecki Bowersox

3. Eventing Weekly

Play
Apple Spotify Episodes
Personality over analysis, and characters over competition results: that is the premise of Eventing Weekly. Mitch and Brayden are New Zealanders who travel the international eventing circuit and record from whatever event they are attending. Guests have included William Fox-Pitt, Boyd Martin, and grooms who rarely appear on other eventing podcasts. The Kiwi perspective and international circuit coverage set this apart from the US-focused and institution-led shows elsewhere on this list. Where others lead with data or governance, Eventing Weekly leads with the person behind the rider. That makes it the most entertaining option on this list, though the least analytical.

The conversation style is what draws listeners back rather than any planned segment structure. The BFOTS Hot Line, where fans text in questions, adds a community loop no other show on this list offers. Episodes recorded live at Badminton, Burghley, Pau, and similar events carry a spontaneity that studio productions rarely match. Grooms get more episode time here than on any other show on this list. Listeners wanting statistical analysis or deep competitive previews should look at the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast instead. What makes Eventing Weekly worth following is that it is not trying to be the most analytical show here.MORE Estimated Monthly Listeners 1k-10k

4. The Go Eventing Podcast

Play
Apple Spotify Episodes
Launched in February 2025 by Eventing Nation, The Go Eventing Podcast is the newest show on this list. Host Sally Spickard, Eventing Nation's Managing Editor, brings journalistic instincts that the rider-hosted shows on this list cannot match. Each episode pairs Spickard with a prominent rider or official who acts as expert co-host throughout the conversation. That structure has drawn guests like Boyd Martin, Harry Meade, and Tamie Smith into full co-host roles. The show's link to Eventing Nation gives it access to breaking news and athlete announcements often ahead of other producers. That is something no independently produced eventing podcast on this list can fully replicate.

The recurring structural segments give the show a clear framework that is rare in a recently launched equestrian podcast. News and Notes brings rapid updates, One Big Thing digs into one story, and Finish Flags closes the episode. The back catalogue is growing, which means fewer past episodes than on the USEA Podcast or EquiRatings. The You Ask, We Answer segment shows an early commitment to building a listener community around eventing. Sally Spickard's approach as a working journalist means questions push for specifics rather than surface-level career summaries. For someone new to the sport or to equestrian podcasts, this is the most accessible starting point on the list.MORE Producer/Network Eventing Nation

5. The Jon and Rick Show

Play Watch Video
Apple Spotify YouTube Episodes
Jonathan Holling and Rick Wallace still compete professionally, which separates The Jon and Rick Show from every other podcast here. Both are riders in the sport, not journalists or analysts, and the conversations reflect that insider knowledge. Long episodes give space for genuine debate on Olympic team selection, cross-country course design, and FEI governance. Officials, team managers, and course designers appear as guests alongside riders as often as not. The show also gives more space to show jumping than any other eventing podcast on this list. For listeners who follow both disciplines, that broader scope adds something no other show here provides.

The Jon and Rick Show's long episodes are earned rather than padded. Holling and Wallace know most guests personally, and that chemistry regularly produces conversations that planned interviews cannot replicate. The show gives more space to show jumping than any other eventing podcast on this list. Pure eventing fans who want exclusively eventing content may find that breadth diluting. Both hosts are based in Kentucky horse country, giving conversations an American framing even with international guests. For anyone following equestrian sport at the highest level, the guest range and episode depth are unmatched on this list. Listeners who prefer quick news recaps rather than extended conversations will find the episode length challenging.MORE Hosts Jonathan Holling, Rick Wallace

6. USEA Podcast

Play Watch Video
Website Apple Spotify YouTube Episodes
Nicole Brown hosts the USEA Podcast as the official voice of the United States Eventing Association. No other show on this list has the same direct access to US sport administrators, Olympic selectors, and association leadership. Coverage spans youth programs and local horse trials through to five-star previews and American Eventing Championships recaps. Recurring segments like rider Q&As and the Through the Owners' Eyes series push the show beyond standard press updates. Brown's warmth as an interviewer is consistent here and on the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast, but the editorial agendas differ. For US eventers wanting one feed covering the full American eventing calendar, this matches nothing else on the list.

The semi-monthly release schedule means depth over immediacy, with each episode settling into focused conversations. The Valentine's Quiz and Year in Review episodes show a willingness to step beyond formal association content. Coverage spans the full US eventing scene, from the Classic Series and the American Eventing Championships to Olympic team selection. Being an association-owned podcast means the editorial frame is institutional rather than independent, which limits some critical perspectives. The trade-off is genuine access: USEA leadership, team selectors, and course designers rarely appear on independent equestrian podcasts. That access to the sport's administrators and officials is simply not available on any other podcast here.MORE Host Nicole Brown
