About this episode
Tamie Smith discusses her recent successes and upcoming plans in eventing with Nicole Brown over a cup of tea.
A horse coming into her own. A summer that wasn't really the plan. And a trip to Europe that suddenly feels like it could mean much more. Nicole Brown sits down for a cup of tea with Tamie Smith after a flying start to 2026 and ahead of a big summer campaign in the UK. With Lillet 3 arriving in England off the back of major wins and World Championship conversations becoming harder to ignore, Tamie reflects on the partnership that took time to build and why this season feels different. They talk Bramham, supporting Team USA at Bicton, bringing riders and horses across the Atlantic, and what happens when the thing you hoped might happen starts becoming real. Plus, an update on retired king Mai Baum and why there may already be another black horse waiting in the wings.
