  In this special episode of When Nicole Met, supported by Littlemax (the sister brand to Bedmax), Nicole sits down with one of eventing’s brightest young stars — Tom Woodward. From a freak leg injury to a breakout Badminton debut and a fairytale win at Bramham, Tom opens up about the ups, downs, and driving ambition behind his rising career. Episode Highlights Tom reflects on how he went from flying under the radar to becoming the under-25 national champion and one of the breakout stars of Badminton 2025. He shares the remarkable story of Low Moor Lucky, the quirky, late-starting horse who helped launch his eventing career. We explore Tom’s deep family roots in the equestrian world, from National Hunt racing to a great-uncle who reportedly brought 10,000 horses out of Ireland. He opens up about the freak accident that left him with a compound leg fracture — and the determined comeback that led to an international win at Cornbury. Tom explains what it’s really like to set up a business as a young rider, including riding for owners, managing entries, and doing all the admin himself. He talks about the bigger goals ahead, the drive that gets him out of bed, and what’s next as he aims for five-star success and future team appearances.

• Through the Owner's Eyes - Pete Cattell

  How does a holiday in Sligo turn into a horse ownership journey that leads all the way to Burghley, Rio, and—hopefully—LA 2028? In this episode of Through the Owner’s Eyes, Nicole Brown sits down with longtime owner Peter Cattell to explore the highs, the heartbreaks, and the heart behind nearly two decades in top-level eventing. From watching Mark Todd ride Leonidas II at the Rio Olympics to nurturing one of the sport’s most exciting young horses, MGH Zabaione, this is a story of passion, partnership, and purpose. Whether you’re an aspiring owner, a lifelong fan, or just curious what it really takes behind the scenes, this episode is full of honesty, insight, and joy. Episode Highlights Peter and Di’s journey into horse ownership began by accident—during a holiday in Sligo filled with golf and beer. A surprise call about Major Milestone led to a Burghley breakthrough and a partnership with Mark Todd. The Rio Olympics brought an emotional rollercoaster, from cross-country highs to final-day heartbreak. Leonidas was a standout horse whose legacy lives on—now retired in the paddock at home. MGH Zabaione is rising fast with Pádraig McCarthy, and Peter has no plans to sell their championship hopeful. For Peter and Di, it’s the people, places, and partnerships that give horse ownership its real meaning Guest Peter Cattell is the owner behind top-level horses that have appeared at Burghley, Rio, and now aim for LA 2028.
