In our 50th weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, currently supported by Frosti-Tap, grand prix dressage rider Steph Croxford talks to H&H dressage editor Polly Bryan about characterful former top horse Mr President and more. 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 events cancelling and others putting tickets on sale, plus a horse abuse case that ended up at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. We also welcome back the Royal Veterinary College’s Andy Fiske-Jackson and equine vet Ricky Farr, who give an insight into the role of vet hospitals in research. We hope you will find it useful.
