From Rome to Bicton, championship conversations are getting louder.

Annie Bishop and Diarmuid Byrne look back on a huge weekend across the US Equestrian Open, where underdogs delivered, established names kept the pressure on, and a few horses may have changed the picture heading into the summer.

There's discussion around La Contessa's growing case for team selection, standout performances from the US eventing squad at Bicton, and why some of the sport's most exciting stories might just be coming through the pathway.

Plus, Noah Rattner joins the show to reflect on the Ginny Rattner Memorial Dressage CDI at DevonWood, and why creating memorable experiences around competition matters just as much as the sport itself.

Highlights:

• Mexico's upset win in Rome
• Why La Contessa is becoming impossible to ignore
• A standout weekend for the US team at Bicton
• The horses making names for themselves on the pathway
• Aspen Farm storylines to watch
• Noah Rattner on community, competition, and building for the future
