    S2, E02: Go Eventing with Courtney Carson, presented by Maryland Horse Park System
    Mar 10 2026
    “Where Eventing Lives” Welcome back to Go Eventing, the podcast where the heart, soul, and stories of the eventing world come to life. This week, we're sitting down with someone who knows the sport from nearly every angle as a competitor, a dedicated FEI groom, and someone still navigating what comes next. Whether you're early in your equestrian career, mid-transition, or simply trying to find your footing in this ever-demanding industry, this conversation is for you. The eventing world is full of passion, but it isn't always easy to sustain. Join us as we dive into the real conversations our community needs to be having: about compensation, career paths, mental health, and what it means to build a life in the horse world that actually lasts. ----more---- 🔎What’s Inside Season 2, Episode 2? Host Sally Spickard sits down with top eventing groom Courtney Carson to talk about her journey from caring for Olympic athletes to a new chapter outside of the barn. As an Olympic-level FEI groom and program manager, equine insurance underwriter, Founding International Director and US Coordinator for the International Grooms Association, and a newly-appointed FEI Licensed Level 1 Steward, Courtney brings a multi-faceted perspective on what our industry asks of its people and what it owes them in return. This episode covers a special reunion between Courtney and longtime Doug Payne ride Vandiver, horse retirement, mental health, the importance of community, and how to make equestrian sport more accessible and sustainable for the next generation of professionals. 🔥In This Episode, We Cover... 01:03 - News & Notes: The Grand-Prix Eventing Showcase & Bouckaert Equestrian’s US Equestrian Open CCI4*-S Sally brings us all up to date on happenings from the $100,000 LiftMaster Grand-Prix Eventing Showcase at Bruce's Field, including some exclusive interviews with our 2026 champion Phillip Dutton. We get an insight into the emotion behind his win due to Phillip's close relationship to the late Bruce Duchossois, and check in with other standout performances from Aiken, including Australia's own Sophia Hill. Sally also touches on Eventing Nation's presence at the event, where we partnered with Cherie Chauvin from Optimum Time Global Eventing Tourism to provide an educational "Win the Warmup" session with Silva Martin — a highlight that we hope to continue offering at future events! The US' first CCI4*-S of the season also took place this past weekend in Bouckaert Equestrian HT International — the first 2026 qualifier for this year's US Equestrian Open of Eventing. Caroline Pamukcu and HSH Connor ended the weekend with a victory, moving Caroline up the US Equestrian Open's Leaderboard to tie for first place in the current standings. 19:45 - One Big Thing: Career Paths and Transitions within the Equine Industry Courtney speaks openly about the identity that comes with being a groom and the emotional complexity of stepping away — even when it's the right move. Thanks to his incredible owners Debi & Kevin Crowley, Courtney was also recently granted the chance to reunite with Vandiver, her long-time charge under Doug Payne, giving some great insights on the reality of retiring horses and what their lives look like outside the competition ring. She and Sally also address some of the thorniest issues in the equestrian workforce, from wages and housing to building support systems to the lack of structured career pathways for those entering the industry, hoping that our listeners can leave this episode with an eye open for what our eventing community can do better. 🏆If you'd like to win a copy of World Class Grooming by top FEI grooms Cat Hill and Emma Ford, click here to sign up for our weekly email newsletter "Between the Flags" -- we'll be drawing one winner from our subscribers to be announced on our next episode on March 24th!

    S2, E01: Go Eventing with Emily Hamel, presented by Deirdre Stoker Vaillancourt Real Estate
    Feb 24 2026
    “Where Eventing Lives” Welcome back to Season 2 of Go Eventing, the podcast where the heart, soul, and stories of the eventing world come to life. As the 2026 season kicks off, join us as we explore major developments shaping the sport — from the highly anticipated $100,000 LiftMaster Grand-Prix Eventing Showcase in Aiken to structural changes within US equestrian leadership and the ripple effects of Olympic funding. The start of a new season is always about possibility, and this episode captures that forward-looking energy! Whether you’re following high-performance competition, navigating your own partnership with a single upper-level horse, or curious about the evolving structure of the sport, this conversation explores how structural decisions at the top level filter down to everyday competitors. ----more---- 🔎What’s Inside Season 2, Episode 1? Host Sally Spickard sits down with 5* eventing icon Emily Hamel to dive into the realities of building a partnership with a single top-level horse, the patience required to develop trust over time, and what it means to manage expectations while pursuing competitive goals. After their recent completion at Les 5 Etoiles de Pau in October 2025, Emily and her 5* partner Corvett (known as Barry to his friends and fans) became the first North-American horse and rider pair to finish all six Northern Hemisphere CCI5* events — a huge achievement for not only their partnership, but eventing as a whole. With reflections on community, opportunity, and the vibrant equestrian hub of Aiken, this episode sets the tone for a season full of growth. 🔥In This Episode, We Cover... 02:38 - News & Notes: New FEI Leadership & Department Merge, Grand-Prix Eventing Showcase at Bruce’s Field, and Billionaire US Olympian Funding Sally and Emily discuss the upcoming $100,000 LiftMaster Grand-Prix Eventing Showcase, considered the "season opener" in the heart of eventing country in Aiken, SC. Recent news highlights include Great Britain’s Molly Day joining the FEI as the Director of the newly-merged Eventing and Driving departments, vacating her former position of Event Director of EEI, a position subsequently succeeded by Vanessa Coleman, the former Competition Director for the Kentucky 5*. Sally and Emily also discuss an article highlighting billionaire Ross Stevens and the fund he created to provide $200,000 to every US Olympic and Paralympic Athlete over the next 6 years. [RSVP for the EN x Optimum Time 'Win the Warmup' Experience at Grand-Prix Eventing] [Watch the Grand-Prix Eventing Showcase live on ClipMyHorse.TV] 19:45 - One Big Thing: Barry & the One-Horse 5* Journey Emily guides the listeners through her journey from meeting Barry to completing their 10th CCI5* together, and what the path looks like when climbing the levels to 5* with just one horse. She touches on mistakes she's learned from and lessons she'll take into partnerships with her up-and-coming horses. Emily places a big emphasis on goals, stressing the importance of a strong partnership while making sure to approach each horse as an individual, without trying to force your goals where they may not fit. She and Sally laugh about Barry's character quirks that have brought him such a devoted fan base, and how Emily has had to adjust her mindset over the years to cater to Barry's rather particular needs. [Video of Barry going to his room all on his own] 54:32- Sponsor Segment: "Emily in Aiken" with Deirdre Vaillancourt Real Estate While Emily may have moved to Aiken rather recently, she now considers it her home. Her home base of Good Fortunes Farm was scouted out by EN's amazing sponsor Deirdre Stoker Vaillancourt Real Estate. 59:49 - Equestrian Keyboard Warriors ft. Emily's Kentucky Infamy If you enjoy Jimmy Kimmel's "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets", you'll love Emily reading some of the more opinionated comments on EN's first million-view reel from the Kentucky Three-Day Event last year, featuring Emily's infamous recovery after a particularly enthusiastic jump by Barry in show jumping! While many comments applauded her impressive save, the keyboard warriors -- as always -- came out to make sure Emily was informed on how they would do it differently! 1:10:54 - Finish Flags We have a wealth of exciting cohosts planned for this season, including recent Maryland 5 Star winner Felix Vogg, Olympic medalist Kim Severson, FEI Dressage Judge Peter Grey, and Belgian Olympic eventer Lara de Liedekerke-Meier — just to name a few! Go Eventing will also be debuting a new format in some future episodes, designed to provide a deep-dive of important topics we think deserve a more focused discussion. Stay tuned for our first discussion focusing on safety and technological advances in Eventing coming your way soon. 🎧 Tune In to Eventing Everywhere with EN Head over to EventingNation.com to read all the latest from all levels of eventing across the globe.

    “Where Eventing Lives”

    Welcome back to Go Eventing, the podcast where the heart, soul, and stories of the eventing world come to life. In our final episode for 2025, our conversation explores what it really takes to build a long-term career in the sport — from the early days of saying yes to every clinic, opportunity, and horse, to learning when to prioritize, delegate, and turn down offers. We also highlight the pressures of modern professional riding and how staying “all-in,” even while balancing family life, is both the hardest and the most rewarding part of the journey.

    This episode brings together the themes that defined our entire eventing year: growth, grit, relationships, and the evolving landscape of eventing. Whether you're a competitive rider, a dedicated amateur, or a fan of the sport, this episode offers thoughtful insights on what it takes to stay inspired, stay committed, and keep moving forward. It’s equal parts reflective and energizing, and a perfect close to Season 1.

    🔎What’s Inside Episode 20?

    Host Sally Spickard finally settles in for a chat with long-awaited and highly-requested co-host, Olympian, and social media sensation Boyd Martin! We explore the evolution of his program, his recent successes, and how he navigates the nonstop demands of top-level eventing. They touch on his upcoming travel to Australia, the growth of Windurra as a premier training hub, and the ever-present challenge of balancing ambition, opportunity, and family life. With his Boyd signature charm matched by his close rapport with Sally, this finale is one you won't want to miss!

    🔥 In This Episode, We Cover...

    • 14:20 - News & Notes: Boyd's Big Season Finale

    Winner of the inaugural US Equestrian Open CCI4*-S Series as well as the Open's CCI4*-L Final at Morven Park, Boyd's end-of-season for 2025 has certainly made a lasting mark!

    • 33:14 - One Big Thing: Boyd Martin — The Eventer & The Human

    Boyd shares his insight and candid thoughts on the realities of building a riding career — from choosing owners and syndicate partners to leveraging clinics and communication — and offers perspective on accessibility, social media, and the future of US eventing. Boyd also touches on what he’s learned about communicating clearly and treating people well so they stay in your corner for the long haul — traits that are vitally important when his career as an Olympian, his training center at Windurra, and personality as a social media icon for the sport all depend upon his success.
