Fresh off Mars Badminton Horse Trials, the focus shifts across the Atlantic, and the road to Aachen is starting to take shape.

On this week's U.S. Equestrian Open Podcast, Annie Bishop and Diarmuid Byrne look back at a huge weekend for the U.S. eventing scene, as Will Coleman and Off The Record remind everyone exactly why great horses never go out of style, while Tamie Smith and Danito deliver a statement win at Tryon that could shape the rest of the Open season.

There's also a look at the current series leaderboard, why Tamie may already hold the winning hand, and what the next few months could mean for the race to the final.

Plus, in jumping, Kent Farrington is back at world number one, new nine-year-old stars are emerging, and with Rome, Aachen, and championship selections on the horizon, the summer is starting to get very interesting.
