Littlemax Future Stars: Josh Levett

He's had the highs. He's had the heartbreak. Now comes the next chapter.

Josh Levett joins Nicole to reflect on a season of near-misses, breakthrough moments, and why sometimes the weeks that almost happen stay with you longest. From a first top-level campaign, to Young Rider highs and lows, to preparing to step out on his own and build a business, Josh shares what life looks like behind the results sheet.

There's talk of family, pressure, owners, sponsors, and the reality of growing up in one of eventing's most established households while finding your own way. Plus, the lessons picked up from time with Piggy March, Clayton Fredericks, and why stepping away from home for a few months changed his perspective on the sport entirely.

With Bramham ahead, one final Young Rider season, and bigger ambitions beginning to take shape, this feels like a rider right at the start of something.
