In our 49th weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, currently supported by Frosti-Tap, Piggy March talks to H&H editor Pippa Roome about her 2019 Badminton win and why it meant so much. Moving on to the week’s top news stories, Horse & Hound news editor Eleanor Jones, senior news writer Lucy Elder and news writer Becky Murray join Pippa to discuss a new EU health law, a show bringing in rules about who can warm up ponies and a crisis facing the Riding for the Disabled Association. We also welcome back the Royal Veterinary College’s Andy Fiske-Jackson and equine vet Ricky Farr, to find out more about MRI scans. We hope you will find it useful.

Episode 49 of The Horse & Hound Podcast, our popular audio service available exclusively every Thursday morning for our H&H Plus subscribers, currently supported by Frosti-Tap, is now live.
