The Horse & Hound Podcast 11: Eventer Laura Collett | Equine euthanasia | News round-up

In our 11th weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, we kick off with an exclusive interview featuring successful five-star event rider Laura Collett. Our magazine editor and podcast host Pippa Roome chats to Laura about the ponies and horses that have made her into the rider she is today, the recent return from injury of her current superstar Mr Bass, her comeback from a serious fall in 2013 and much more. Moving on to the week’s top news stories, our senior news writer Lucy Elder and news writer Becky Murray join Pippa to discuss the national showjumping championships at Bolesworth, motorway travel in the heat and the return of sport in Scotland and Wales. We also hear from vet Ricky Farr MRCVS, who this week explains everything horse owners really need to know about having horses put down before facing the situation in real life. We hope you will find it useful.
