The Horse & Hound Podcast 12: Dressage rider Louise Bell | Arthritis/DJD | News round-up

In our 12th weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, we kick off with an exclusive interview featuring former showing star turned grand prix dressage rider Louise Bell. Our dressage editor Polly Bryan chats to Louise about how difficult it was for her to switch discipline, how she came to own her top working hunter turned dressage star Into The Blue (aka Dynamo) and why not everyone was convinced by her purchase, plus what exciting young horses she has waiting in the wings to look out for. Moving on to the week’s top news stories, our senior news writer Lucy Elder and news editor Eleanor Jones join our podcast host, H&H magazine editor Pippa Roome, to discuss the impact of the recent introduction of new quarantine requirements when returning from France and why all horse owners need public liability insurance, even if they are not the primary carer of their horse. We also hear from vet Ricky Farr MRCVS, who this week talks about arthritis, or degenerative joint disease (DJD), including which horses are at risk and what treatment options are available. We hope you will enjoy it.
