The Horse & Hound Podcast 56: Showing's Vicky Smith | Olympic teams and other news | Lorry training

In our 56th weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, PE teacher turned showing producer Vicky Smith talks to H&H showing editor Alex Robinson about making the switch, her great start to the 2021 season and the most exciting horses in her current team. Moving on to the week’s top news stories, H&H editor and Olympic reporter Pippa Roome is joined by Polly Bryan and Lucy Elder, who will also be reporting from Tokyo, about the dressage and para dressage nominated entries, while news editor Eleanor Jones discusses the impact of ‘freedom day’ being pushed back on major shows and a new initiative to attract more children into horse riding. We also welcome Jason Webb, who specialises in starting young horses and retraining those with problems, who will be giving advice on how to teach a horse to stand quietly on a lorry at a show.
