In our 24th weekly episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, H&H’s dressage editor Polly Bryan chats to dressage legend Carl Hester about his exciting new grand prix ride En Vogue, the top hat verses crash hat debate and his thoughts on social media, among other topics. Our news editor Eleanor Jones and senior news writer Lucy Elder join our podcast host Pippa Roome to discuss the week’s top stories, including Covid-19, the impact of Brexit on transporting horses, and what prompted a call for owners to take responsibility for their older equines. We also catch up with vet Ricky Farr, who outlines the early signs of an impaction in your horse’s gut and explains what to do if you suspect your horse has colic.
