In our 23rd weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, we kick off with an exclusive interview featuring successful showing producer and rider Sam Roberts, where she explains to H&H showing editor Alex Robinson why she is in her dream job and much more. Moving on to the week’s top news stories we discuss the new lockdown, the impact of Covid-19 on charities, livestreaming at point-to points and fireworks. We also hear from vet Helen Van Tuyll, who this week explains possible reasons why a horse might have a big leg the day after hunting. We hope you will find it useful.

Episode 23 of The Horse & Hound Podcast, our exciting new audio service available exclusively every Thursday morning for our H&H Plus subscribers, is now live.
