TerraNova gave us blue skies, big movement and a four star that absolutely shaped the conversation. Annie was there watching it unfold. Diarmuid was in the desert watching the Dressage Final under very un-California weather. And between the two weekends we learned a lot. About form. About depth. And about who is heading into the winter with momentum. Settle in. There's plenty to talk about.

Highlights

• What TerraNova told us about the depth in the four star short
• How the Dressage Final played out and why the result mattered
• Who delivered at the right time and who signalled big things for 2026
• The young guns making serious moves and why that matters for the US and Canada
• Time penalties, tough show jumping and the class dynamics you might have missed
• What the winter break means for big names and big ambitions

Guests
