In our 39th weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, currently supported by NAF, US event rider Liz Halliday-Sharp talks to H&H editor Pippa Roome, where she shares her first experiences of starting out in eventing while she was working for William Fox-Pitt, 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 welfare concerns while transporting horses post-Brexit, the licensing of horse sanctuaries and regulation of equine dental technicians and muscoskeletal therapists. We also welcome back supergroom to Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin, Alan Davies, who offers advice on how to introduce young or hot horses to competing. We hope you will find it useful.

Episode 39 of The Horse & Hound Podcast, currently supported by NAF, our popular audio service available exclusively every Thursday morning for our H&H Plus subscribers, is now live.
