This Week on In Stride
Sinead Halpin-Maynard sits down with Olivia Dutton to talk about her whirlwind summer overseas, building her own career inside one of eventing’s best-known families, and what it takes to rebuild confidence and keep showing up.
Meet the Guest: Olivia Dutton
Olivia Dutton is an upper-level event rider who recently earned individual bronze at the inaugural FEI Eventing World Championship for Under 25s at Millstreet International in Ireland. She finished as the highest-placed U.S. combination, riding Jewelent. In 2025 she also won the CCI4*-S at the Morven Park Fall International and Horse Trials aboard Sea of Clouds. Olivia is the daughter of Phillip Dutton, a seven-time Olympian in eventing.
In This Episode, Sinead and Olivia Discuss:
- What it was like to compete at the first-ever Under 25 World Championships and why she wasn’t expecting to finish on the podium
- Having your dad as your coach, and how she carves out her own business and identity as part of one of eventing’s best-known families
- Losing her confidence after a fall on her first trip overseas with Sea of Clouds, and how her family and friends helped her trust herself again
- Her concerns about eventing’s Olympic future and why she wants to explain the sport better to people outside the horse world
