On today's Connolly's Red Mills Special, we've got a brilliant double act: former European Champion Tina Cook and one of the most exciting young names coming through, her daughter Izzy. With the 2026 season in sight, we look back on a year that included Boekelo, Young Rider medals and a first full run at four-star, and ahead to under-25 Worlds, Bramham ambitions and the next crop of homebreds coming through the yard.

From the call that cost an individual medal at Strzegom to the seven-year-olds they both hope to take to Le Lion, the Cooks open the door on what's to come.

Highlights

• Four-star lessons, Boekelo and the Young Rider Europeans
• Team orders, pressure and delivering under championship conditions
• Under-25 Worlds: why the pathway matters and how riders get selected
• Breeding, bloodlines and the next generation of Cook horses
• Horses to follow in 2026: Mexican Law, Moony and the seven-year-olds
