2026 Millstreet Preview Show

Millstreet week is here, and with it comes one of the biggest fixtures in Irish eventing.

On this special Connolly's Red Mills preview show, Sam Watson joins Nicole Brown to look ahead to the four-star at Millstreet International Horse Trials, where championship contenders, rising stars, and experienced campaigners all collide.

From Jonelle Price and Senor Crocodillo, to Joseph Murphy's Aachen hopefuls, Cosby Green's Highly Suspicious challenge, and Sam's own exciting young horse Goldman stepping up to four-star, there's plenty to unpack ahead of cross-country day at Green Glens.

The pair also discuss the unique challenge of showjumping after cross-country, why Millstreet matters so much to Irish eventing, and what the new FEI Under 25 World Championships could mean for the future of the sport.
