    Willberry Special

    20/06/2026 | 16 mins.
    There are some stories that stay with the sport forever.
    This week, Nicole shines a light on Hannah's Willberry Wonder Pony charity as it celebrates 10 years of making an extraordinary impact. At Badminton, Nicole catches up with Hannah's mum Rachel Francis and trustee Miles Toulson-Clarke to reflect on Hannah's story, the community that rallied around her and the legacy that continues to grow today.
    Following Hannah's osteosarcoma diagnosis at just 17, Willberry became far more than a mascot. What began as one young rider sharing her journey has gone on to fund vital research, grant life-changing wishes and support families facing impossible circumstances.
    This is a conversation about horses, determination, community and the difference one person can make.

    Bramham feels like one of those moments in the season where things stop being hypothetical.

    Littlemax Future Stars: Josh Levett

    10/06/2026 | 39 mins.
    He's had the highs. He's had the heartbreak. Now comes the next chapter.
    Josh Levett joins Nicole to reflect on a season of near-misses, breakthrough moments, and why sometimes the weeks that almost happen stay with you longest. From a first top-level campaign, to Young Rider highs and lows, to preparing to step out on his own and build a business, Josh shares what life looks like behind the results sheet.
    There's talk of family, pressure, owners, sponsors, and the reality of growing up in one of eventing's most established households while finding your own way. Plus, the lessons picked up from time with Piggy March, Clayton Fredericks, and why stepping away from home for a few months changed his perspective on the sport entirely.
    With Bramham ahead, one final Young Rider season, and bigger ambitions beginning to take shape, this feels like a rider right at the start of something.
    Highlights
    Why the "almost" results can stay with you more than the disasters
    Growing up in a horse family, and why eventing wasn't always the plan
    Young Rider highs, setbacks, and unfinished business
    Building a business, moving out, and setting up independently
    Lessons learned from Piggy March and Clayton Fredericks
    Four-star reality checks and stepping up the levels
    GB or Australia? Josh talks future team ambitions
    The surprising thing he does before leaving the start box
