On this episode, H&H’s eventing editor Pippa Roome caught up with Tim to talk about his recent success at Mars Badminton and Defender Kentucky, despite breaking his collarbone falling off a bike at an event in the Netherlands just a few days before the US five-star.

“I was biking back to ride my first horse on the cross-country after buying some studs, which were hanging from the handlebars, when the bag got caught on the temporary fencing. It yanked the handlebars to the left and yanked my hands to the left and I went down very quickly on to my right shoulder – I knew straight away, rolling around on the ground… crunch, crunch and a lot of pain. I could not believe what had just happened” – Tim outlines how he broke his collarbone, but that’s just the start of this incredible story…

Tim goes on to explain why he ended up needing separate surgeries on the injury either side of Kentucky, what it felt like riding through the pain when the plates came loose during his first cross-country round at the US five-star, and the positive learnings he’s has taken away from the injury. (Spoiler: it’s not to avoid riding bikes!)

Among other topics, Pippa and Tim chat about Vitali’s ninth top-10 five-star finish, including his first showjumping clear at the level in Kentucky. They also talk about why Tim’s Badminton 2026 runner-up, Falco, has had his upper front teeth removed, and whether he needs any special management as a result.

“I’m not saying it works for everyone, and it doesn’t work every time, but I have a little system in my mind now how I buy horses and I’m very strict on the way I do it. Sometimes when you go and try them, when you get them home they are a complete different horse. I feel with all the information that’s at hand now… sometimes not trying them and getting them in your yard is just the best way to do it” – Tim Gredley on how he buys elite showjumpers

Tim also talks to H&H’s showjumping editor Jennifer Donald about his sensitive 2023 European Championships ride Medoc De Toxandria’s unusual way of going and how he gets the best out of him.

Other discussions include Tim’s return to elite sport while running the family business full-time, his interests in racing and his short-lived point-to-pointing career, why it was nice to return to showjumping with a “clean slate”, and the difficulties of breaking into the top echelons of showjumping.

Tim also shares his thoughts on what he feels needs to change in Britain to keep our best riders competing here and ways to help the next generation of riders break through, as well as his personal ambitions for the future.

People said, ‘You’re so lucky, it’s a privilege to have two grand prix horses,’ but I just thought: they don’t care. They don’t care if they don’t go to the Europeans – they’ll still get the same level of care and attention. I knew I needed time to enjoy it again.” – Abi on choosing to step back from international competition

Holly was the youngest rider since 1989 to be selected onto the senior eventing squad after her call-up to represent Great Britain at the FEI Longines European Eventing Championship at Blair Castle in September 2015, riding DHI Lupison – she was 21, and the combination finished 21st.

“Cycling doesn’t come naturally to me – I much prefer four legs over two wheels! – so cycling 150km on consecutive days was pretty hard” – Holly Woodhead on her experience while taking part in Cycle4Caroline

On our 157th episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, H&H’s Pippa Roome chats to young British event rider Bubby Upton on her incredible comeback from potential career-ending injuries sustained in a fall from a horse at home in August 2023. At the time, it was unclear whether Bubby would be able to walk again, let alone ride and compete at the highest level, but thanks to brilliant work by her surgical team, plus a huge amount of hard work and determination from Bubby herself, not only has she managed to get back to being able to ride, she was ready and able to compete at Badminton 2024. And now she has her eyes set on a trip across the Atlantic to Maryland 5 Star in just a few weeks’ time.

“If you had told me this time last year after my accident that I would have achieved what I’ve achieved this season, I don’t think I would have believed you. Just being back competing this year was enough for me, let alone being shortlisted for the Olympics” – Bubby Upton on her successful return to the highest level of the sport

On our 147th episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, in partnership this month with Charles Owen, we speak to British dressage Olympian Richard Davison. He talks about Britain’s chances at the Paris 2024 Olympics, plus why he loves the sport.

“We’ve learnt to choose the right type of horse that has potential for international grand prix with the correct qualities and mindset. We also learnt how to ride and train them to optimise each horse as an individual and how to manage them better too. Lastly, but very importantly we’ve learnt how to attract and keep owners” – Richard Davison on how Britain has risen through the international dressage ranks over the years

“It’s very hard to ring up an owner who has bred a racehorse and say ‘I don’t think it’s any good’ it’s no different to ringing up the parent of a child and saying ‘I really don’t think little Johnnie is doing very well at the moment – perhaps another school or a different career would suit?’ It’s not what they want to hear!” – Kim Bailey on one of the downsides of training racehorses

On our 144th episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, supported by Spillers, we speak to amateur show rider Floriann Gilston. She tells us about her back-story, how she juggles showing with work, and she offers some advice too.

“Hard work and determination are things you definitely need to have, but you need to keep it fun too. Winter is long and hard, so you need to keep it fun for yourself and your horse” – Floriann Gilston on how to keep motivation up during the winter months

We also hear from Spillers’ nutritionist Vanessa Allen and Redwings’ lead vet Nicky Jarvis, who provide us with useful insight on how to best feed senior horses.

“The main part of a horse’s diet, whatever their primary source of calories might be, has a huge effect – if they’ve gone from usually eating 6kg overnight, down to suddenly only managing 5kg… if that is happening every day, it’s obviously a huge portion of their diet that’s being lost” – Vanessa Allen
