In our 96th weekly episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, H&H’s Alex Robinson talks to successful show horse producer Edward Young about how he got started with horses, his showing career to date and how the sport has changed during his career.
“None of the championship shows had evening performances back in the day. We were finished by 4 O’clock and that was half of the appeal. Us children would run off and play while our parents had barbequees and got drunk, not knowing what we were up to” – Edward Young
H&H’s Pippa Roome then catches up with the H&H news team to discuss the introduction of a new border control post for horses entering Britain, what can be done to help improve happiness in stabled horses, and the RDA’s big plans for the future.
“Award-winning animal behavioural scientists Andrew McLean said it’s essential horses have the ability to touch each other [while stabled] and that seeing another horse isn’t enough” – H&H’s senior editor Eleanor Jones on how stable design can help improve horses’ emotional state.
Finally, we’ll be hearing from bits and bitting expert Tricia Nassau-WIlliams, who talks about selecting the right bit for a strong horse.
“Why is the horse being strong? What is causing that scenario? There can be a range of different causes that the problem is stemming from.” – Tricia Nassau-Williams
