A Cup of Tea with Elizabeth Barratt

About this episode

Elizabeth Barratt discusses her experiences and ambitions in eventing, including her recent trip to Kentucky and upcoming competitions.

Kentucky, national titles, and a horse called Piglet. Nicole Brown sits down with one of Britain's brightest young riders, Elizabeth Barratt, to talk about a whirlwind start to 2026, from flying horses to America for the first time to defending her Young Rider National title at Bicton. Elizabeth reflects on the scale of the Kentucky experience, learning alongside Europe's top five-star riders, and why the trip left her hungry to come back one day for the five-star itself. Plus, she looks ahead to Bicton with two very different rides, the experienced Rehy DJ and exciting young talent Postman. There's also talk of Young Rider Europeans ambitions, future four-stars, and the young horses listeners should keep firmly on their radar this season.
