    Weekend wins, World Cup Finals and a chat with Tommy Greengard

    It's been one of those weekends where the leaderboard didn't just hold… it shifted. At Stable View, Lucienne Bellissimo went out and did exactly what she said she would, win. A finish on her dressage score, which we know is very hard to do in this series, and suddenly the gap at the top feels a lot tighter. Now the focus turns to Fort Worth and the World Cup Finals. A different kind of pressure, a championship format, and a chance to see how some familiar Open names stack up on a bigger stage. Plus, we chat with Tommy Greengard, who's season is off to a strong start. From time spent in the UK to the way he's producing his horses now, this is a conversation about building confidence, gaining experience, and putting the pieces in place for what comes next. Highlights Lucienne Bellissimo wins at Stable View, finishing on her dressage score in a rare FOD Major leaderboard shake-up as the Open race tightens heading into spring World Cup Finals preview, format, key contenders, and what to expect in Fort Worth Tommy Greengard on his early-season form, UK experience, and producing horses for the top level Guests Charlotte Smet - EquiRatings Jumping Analyst & Podcast Host Ali Barrett - EquiRatings AI & Sports Media Analyst Tommy Greengard - West Coast event rider producing top-level horses
