RED MILLS Special: Who Wins in Geneva?

It's the final sign-off for the EquiRatings team in 2025… sort of. Because while most of the crew are mentally halfway to mince pies and mulled wine, the jumping world is still rolling on and some of us are very much still on duty. So what do we do with the whole team on one call at Christmas? Naturally: a very serious quiz (with questionable rules, minus points for guessing, and absolutely zero respect for staying on topic).

It's Friday night, it's festive, and the show jumping doesn't stop. Charlotte Smet is joined by Sam Watson to preview the London World Cup Qualifier weekend: the post-Geneva "calm down" that still comes with serious five-star pressure, valuable World Cup points, and the kind of home-crowd magic that makes London feel like Christmas.   Sponsors: Connolly's Red Mills are offering 15% off Foran Equine products to podcast listeners!

It's December 12 and the countdown to Christmas is on… but first, it's Geneva. Charlotte and Diarm sit down (with thanks to Connellly's Red Mills) to preview one of the strongest-field weeks of the entire season at CHI Geneva: the IJRC Rolex Top Ten Final (Friday night) and the Rolex Grand Prix of Geneva (Sunday)—a key leg of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping. This episode is packed with rivalry, records, and a few "party spoilers" who could wreck the script. What we cover Why Geneva has become the show of the year: calendar timing, atmosphere, and the sheer depth of field. Kent Farrington vs Scott Brash: the defining head-to-head of 2025—and why it matters even when they're not on their "default headline" horses. The Top Ten Final quickfire: rapid takes on every contender, plus podium picks. Sunday's Grand Prix: record-chasing, legacy-chasing, and spoiler energy from a stacked cast.   Sponsors: Connolly's Red Mills are offering 15% off Foran Equine products to podcast listeners!
