In today’s Practical Horseman Podcast, brought to you by Cosequin®, we’re speaking with chef d’equipe of the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team Bobby Costello.

Costello made his first Olympic team at the age of 35 for the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia, where he took eighth place in individual performance aboard his career-making mount Chevalier. The pair also earned top three and four-star placings at Rolex Kentucky, Fair Hill International and the Burghley Horse Trials in the U.K.

In 2003, he represented the U.S. again at the Pan American Games, this time winning a team gold on his horse Dalliance. The duo went on to future successes at Fair Hill International and Rolex Kentucky, in addition to being the top American finishers at Burghley.

As a former Olympic athlete, Costello knows exactly what it feels like to ride down the centerline at an Olympic venue and has aspired to pass the wisdom he gained from that experience on to his team. Here he talks about the importance of establishing trust, respect and open communication to successfully compete as a team in eventing and also discusses his strategy going into the 2024 Paris Games.
