The Open Book Podcast is delighted to welcome Declan Cullen of Cullen Equine Solutions and five-star event rider, alongside Nicky Potterton, Chairman of Eventing Ireland and Maritime electrician.

In this episode, we open the conversation on the realities of modern eventing, and why they believe that eventing is the best equestrian discipline. They discuss the ever-evolving landscape of the Irish sport horse industry, and the opportunities and challenges facing riders, breeders, and producers today. Listen in as they discuss the launch of the new Eventing Ireland app and funding model – ‘You play - we all win!’

As you listen, you will not only gain insight, but also learn from their depth of knowledge and lived experience within Irelands Equestrian Community. From high-performance sport to grassroots development, this is an honest and insightful discussion you won’t want to miss.
