In our 93rd weekly episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, H&H’s Jennifer Donald talks to legendary former jump jockey Barry Geraghty, looking ahead to next week’s Cheltenham Festival. He talks about the pressure of riding at this event, which is the highlight of the jump racing calendar. H&H’s Pippa Roome then catches up with the H&H news team to discuss the staff crisis in the horse industry, how research into horse vision is making racing and eventing safer and the initial outcome of an investigation into last year’s equine herpes outbreak in Europe. Finally, hunting vet Helen Van Tuyll is back to give us some advice into roughing horses off as the hunting season comes to an end. We hope you’ll enjoy listening.

Episode 93 of The Horse & Hound Podcast, our popular audio service available every Thursday morning for our H&H digital subscribers, is now live.
