Luhmühlen Review Show

We're on the other side of another five-star and what a weekend it was at Luhmühlen 2025. Diarm and Nicole break down all the headlines in this episode supported by FLAIR Strips. From Izilot's win and Laura Collett's missed milestone, to Cosby Green's breakthrough and what Sam Lissington's result means for New Zealand. They tackle the bigger questions - judging ranges, high-performance trends, and whether Australia's seat at the 'Big Six' table is in danger. Episode Highlights Izilot vs. Graffalo – A win for Ros, but is it enough for European selection?  Dressage Drama – Was Luhmühlen over-marked? Diarm breaks down the numbers behind the scores. That Arena Fence – 30% of the field faulted at 8B/C. Who rode it best, and was it fair Breakout Riders – Huge weekends for Sam Lissington (NZL) and Cosby Green (USA), both landing top finishes. Australia's Big Question – Are they slipping out of the Big Six? Elo data says the pressure's on.
