In our seventh weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, we kick off with an exclusive interview featuring eventing legend Ian Stark. Our magazine editor Pippa Roome chats to Ian about how he started riding, his route into eventing, some of his favourite horses and his reputation for being a bit of a party animal at championships. Moving on to the week’s top news stories, senior news writer Lucy Elder and news writer Becky Murray join Pippa to discuss new research into eventing safety and what action is being taken to help jockeys with their mental health. We also hear from vet Ricky Farr MRCVS, who this week has expert advice on dealing with wounds. We hope you will enjoy it.
