In our 76th weekly episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, H&H’s Jennifer Donald talks to top National Hunt trainer Dan Skelton about the jumps season ahead and talks about working with the rest of equestrianism’s famous Skelton family. H&H editor Pippa Roome then catches up with the H&H news team to discuss the bombshell news that the horse riding part of modern pentathlon is being dropped, anti-bullying week and the British Dressage AGM. Finally, trainer Jason Webb kicks off our new series about starting young horses. Let us know what you think.
