Cosby Green - Practical Horseman Podcast

This week’s Practical Horseman Podcast episode, sponsored by USRider, is with five-star eventer Cosby Green. We talked to Cosby in early January at the start of a new competition year with new goals ahead for the world number 10 rider on the FEI Eventing World Athlete Rankings.

To give you a little more background on Cosby, she made her five-star debut at Pau in 2023 with Copper Beach. The following year, the pair completed the Badminton and Burghley CCI5*-Ls. 2025 was an illustrious year for Cosby, starting off with her senior team debut at the FEI Eventing Nations Cup Great Britain, where she and Highly Suspicious helped the U.S. team earn silver. Next, she competed in the Luhmuhlen CCI5*-L, finishing in the top eight with Highly Suspicious and Jos UFO de Quidam. Cosby then rode Clever Louis at the FEI Eventing Nations Cup Belgium, helping the U.S. earn another silver-medal finish. She piloted MBF Party Time to fifth place in the FEI Eventing World Breeding Championship for 7-year-olds. Cosby closed out the year with two strong finishes at the Pau CCI5*-L.

While Cosby is originally from Lexington, Kentucky, her current training base at Chedington Equestrian in Dorset, England.

In our discussion, Cosby talks about taking the leap of going to learn and compete overseas, what she enjoys about eventing, her training philosophy and more.
