    On this episode, H&H’s dressage editor Oscar Williams caught up with Becky while she was out competing in Rotterdam. Among the topics they discussed was Becky’s experiences at the FEI World Cup Final in America.

    “I loved it partly because Bomb does flourish in that kind of atmosphere, but it just felt like everyone was having a really good time. I did laugh when someone shouted out ‘Becky, we love your jacket’” – Becky on the enthusiastic and vocal fans at the FEI World Cup Final in Texas

    Becky explained the big learning curve involved with flying Jagerbomb overseas for the first time – “I didn’t take my eyes off flight radar” – and how she felt coming into the competition as the favourite, rather than the underdog.

    She also shared her views on ways she think AI could be used in dressage judging, how she tracks Jagerbomb’s sleep patterns and what she’s learnt from doing so, and much more.
