The Horse & Hound Podcast 6: Billy Twomey | Equine infection testing | News round-up

In our sixth weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, we kick off with an exclusive interview featuring Irish Olympic showjumper Billy Twomey. Our magazine editor Pippa Roome chats to Billy about his career, how he felt competing at the London Olympics, whether he prefers mares, geldings or stallions, his interest in breeding and how he has got the best out of some of the extremely talented mares he has ridden during his career so far. Our Editor-in-Chief Sarah Jenkins joins Pippa and senior news writer Lucy Elder about this week’s top stories including what’s happening as UK equestrian sport gets underway, H&H’s plans for reporting the earliest competitions, and how charities have been affecting by the coronavirus lockdown. We also hear from vet Ricky Farr MRCVS, who this week is talking about ways to monitor sick horses. We hope you will enjoy it.
