In our eighth weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, we kick off with an exclusive interview featuring seven-time Olympian Andrew Hoy. Our magazine editor Pippa Roome chats to Andrew about his Olympic memories, his special horses, his current rides that he is aiming for Tokyo and his impressive new lorry. Moving on to the week’s top news stories, news editor Eleanor Jones and senior news writer Lucy Elder join Pippa to talk about steps being taken to reinstate championship shows and racing’s plans for the return of spectators. We also hear from vet Ricky Farr MRCVS, who this week is talking through pre-purchase vettings. We hope you will enjoy it.
