Flair Overview Show: Definite Entries for Aachen 2026 are in!
The definite entry list for the FEI Jumping World Championship in Aachen is in, and Charlotte Smet and Sam Watson go through it team by team. Ireland sit top of the EquiRatings prediction centre with Germany just behind, Christian Kukuk and Checker are named as Germany's travelling reserve rather than in the team, and some combinations we expected to shape this championship are not going: Kent Farrington and Greya, Gilles Thomas and Ermitage Kalone. Charlotte and Sam work through the venue form that matters in Aachen, Scott Brash's horse choice, Harry Charles heading to a championship on a partnership with one five-star 1.60m class to its name, and the thirteen riders on the definite entry list who also competed at the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen. They finish with full team and individual podium predictions, and they do not agree. This show is very kindly supported by FLAIR Equine Nasal Strips.

Bertram Allen on Building A Career, a Brand & the Aloga Auction
Charlotte Smet is joined by one of Ireland's most successful show jumpers, Bertram Allen, for a special episode that dives into his career, his family operation, and the philosophy behind the rapidly growing Aloga Auction. Bertram reflects on his remarkable rise through the sport, from pony success in Ireland to competing on the world stage as a teenager, and what it was like to leave home at just 16 to pursue his career in Germany. Now over a decade later, he shares how that move shaped both his riding and his business. The conversation explores the family dynamic behind Aloga, with Bertram working closely alongside his brother Harry and a wider team that spans breeding, production, and innovation within the sport. A major focus of the episode is the Aloga Auction, taking place on May 5th at Sentower Park. Bertram explains how the idea began, how it has evolved into a premium auction experience, and how they identify and produce the horses that make it into the catalogue.

So what do we do with the whole team on one call at Christmas? Naturally: a very serious quiz (with questionable rules, minus points for guessing, and absolutely zero respect for staying on topic).
