In our 36th weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, SEIB Search For A Star winner Lisa Sergeant talks to H&H showing editor Alex Robinson, where she talks about her experiences of that prestigious championship, among other topics. Moving on to the week’s top news stories, our news editor Eleanor Jones, senior news writer Lucy Elder and news writer Becky Murray join Pippa to discuss rider responsibility in eventing safety, why the public shouldn’t feed horses, and how horse owners and riders can contribute to a greener world. We also welcome back equine trainer Jason Webb, who offers advice on how to best deal with horses that are tricky to load, so you’re ready to take your horse out and about when Government guidelines allow. We hope you will find it useful.

Episode 36 of The Horse & Hound Podcast, our popular audio service available exclusively every Thursday morning for our H&H Plus subscribers, is now live.
