About this listen

We’re nearing the first-ever Scone Palace International Horse Trials — and Scotland’s own Wills Oakden is here to take us behind the scenes. Nicole Brown chats with Wills about what this brand-new event means for Scottish eventing, the work going into preparing the venue, and his own plans for competing on home turf. From fresh challenges to home advantage, it’s a mix of insight, humour, and excitement for one of the most talked-about additions to the 2025 calendar.

Episode Highlights:

  • The end of an era for Blair and why Scone is stepping into the spotlight
  • Terrain, setting, and spectator appeal — what makes Scone unique
  • Wills’ perspective on the cross-country course and preparations

  • How he handles pressure at home events
  • Why Scone’s first year is just the start of something big
