The penultimate event of the 2017 series and ERM 2017 is hotting up. Can Gemma Tattersall keep up her ERM form? How close can Mark Todd and Marcio Jorge get to her before we head for Blenheim? Will our dark horse for the season, Treason, post a counting score that further closes the gap. Will Chris Burton and Graf Liberty enjoy a first Event Rider Masters win or will Oliver Townend win this leg for the second year in a row. Just Diarm and Nicole on this one before they pack their bags for rainy ...

What a weekend of action that was! Ingrid winning her first championship, the Brits being back at the top with Bartle, girl power surging through the sport once again... We tried to record this a few times but the platform we record on has a bug at the moment which means the audio is drifting it sounds like we are interrupting each other. We have edited it for now and are hoping they can get it fixed asap. Thanks for your patience.

Finally Championship time is here for 2017 and all eyes turn to Strzegom where the best of best will battle it out to be crowned European champion. We have a full house of Nicole, Jenni, Sam and Diarm all giving their views on the ones to beat (and who might come unstuck!). Jung is aiming for history again — surely he can't win four European titles in a row on four different horses?! He is going to have to beat the best to do it. Ingrid arrives on Aachen superstar Horseware Hale Bob, Tom and Ups...

It's the Aachen Review Show on a busy week for the team — meaning we have Diarm at the beginning of the episode and Sam at the end.

The boys are busy which means Nicole & Jenni get to talk about whatever they like on the pod this week. There's lots to discuss with the inside line on all things Event Rider Masters from Jardy, the invincible Michi Jung & a #NumptyNicole moment when she was set up by Diarm. Jenni springs a #BigFatAachenQuiz on Nicole while looking at German domination at arguably the toughest Nations Cup there is. The argument for a German 1-2-3 is strong but there are plenty of contenders to challenge,...

All four of the team are on again which usually means there is lots that can go wrong. For the most part they keep it together. All the usual names get a mention — can Andrew lead from start to finish or will a certain Frenchman spoil his party? Can Vittoria strike for the girls again and can Toddy finally break his ERM curse? Nicole continues her Love Island obsession with an interesting observation on OT. One Two Many almost goes under the radar until a big stat shows up late in the day. Have ...
