Our 134th episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, with this episode supported by Spillers, features an exclusive interview with National Hunt trainer Lucinda Russell and Peter Scudamore, who is eight-time champion jockey and now assistant to Lucinda. They reflect on the recent Cheltenham Festival and look forward to the Grand National next month, as well as remembering their big win in the race in 2017 with One For Arthur, who recently died. We’ll then hear from Spillers’ senior nutritionist Isabel Harker, who will give us an insight into laminitis. We hope you will enjoy listening.
