  • S2 Ep6: David Broome: Britain’s Showjumping Icon
    Oct 8 2025

    Pippa and Tristan sit down with one of the true icons of British showjumping, David Broome CBE. A six-time Olympian, three-time Olympic medalist, and World Champion, David’s remarkable career spanned decades and helped shape the golden age of British equestrian sport.


    He opens up about his unforgettable partnership with Mr Softee, the horse that made him a household name, and the grit, glamour, and occasional chaos of competing around the world when British showjumping was at its peak. From early memories of growing up in Wales and building a career alongside his father, to his reflections on how the sport has evolved and what still drives his passion today, it’s a rare and personal insight from one of the greats.

  • S2 Ep5: William Fox-Pitt - Lessons from a Legend
    Oct 1 2025

    Pippa and Tristan are joined in the studio by one of the tallest, and most decorated, figures in Eventing history, William Fox-Pitt. From his record-breaking string of five-star wins at Badminton, Burghley, and Kentucky, to flying the flag for Britain at Olympic Games and World Championships, William’s career has set the standard for generations of riders. To add to his accolades - he's one of the most requested guests on Talk Horse.

    We chat about his greatest horses, the highs and lows of life at the very top, and what it takes to stay at the sharp end of the sport for so long including his life changing accident in 2015, just before the Rio Olympics. Plus, Pippa relives some good times with her old friend, and Tristan delves into Pippa's own spectacular achievements.

  • S2 Ep4: Racing Ahead: The Rise of Saffie Osborne
    Sep 24 2025

    Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps are Talking Horse with one of the most exciting young talents in British racing, Saffie Osborne. From a childhood spent eventing to becoming one of the flat racing world’s most talked-about jockeys, Saffie has carved out her own path in a sport that runs deep in her family’s bloodline. She opens up about her early days in the saddle, what drew her away from eventing and into the racing world, and how she’s making her mark in a fiercely competitive arena.

    She reflects on the devastating accident at Windsor, the long road back to fitness, and the determination that has since powered her to major wins on the track. From the thrill of big race days to the challenges of being a young woman in racing and a little bit of Pippa fan girling along the way.

    Plus Pippa introduces Tristan to Nay or Neigh… You’re gonna love it.

  • S2 Ep2: Hen Knight - Racing Royalty
    Sep 10 2025

    This week, Pippa and Tristan sit down with one of racing’s most iconic trainers, Henrietta Knight - the woman behind the legendary Best Mate, whose extraordinary record of three consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cup victories has never been beaten.

    But that’s not all. Alongside racing, she is a breeder of Connemara ponies, a showing judge, and an author. And despite retiring in 2012, she made a remarkable return to training in 2023 and has already saddled winners on both the Flat and over hurdles. An incredible list of achievements and an epic life story.

  • Special 4: Jodie Kidd Unbridled - from Reins to Runways
    Aug 6 2025

    Welcome to the last of our summer specials, recorded on the morning of Derby Day in June 2025, right in the heart of Hickstead, Pippa and Tristan saddle up with supermodel, showjumper and speed enthusiast Jodie Kidd.


    A true polymath, Jodie has strutted catwalks, flown over showjumps, played polo at the highest levels, taken the chequered flag in fast cars and, as a board member at Hickstead, helped steer one of the most famous showgrounds in the world.


    In this episode, she opens the stable door on her many lives — from fashion shoots to cross-country courses — and reveals a few hidden passions you might not expect. It’s a ride that’s part glamour, part horsepower, and all Jodie Kidd.

  • Special 3: Shane Breen Jumping Machine!
    Jul 23 2025

    Recorded live on the morning of Derby Day, this special episode of Talk Horse with Pippa and Tristan features showjumper and breeder Shane Breen, speaking to us from his own front room, right beside the famous Hickstead arena. We chat with Shane just hours before the Al Shira'aa Hickstead Derby to explore what it means to compete on home ground, the bumpy path to coupling up with Chloe Bunn (daughter of Hickstead founder Douglas Bunn), and his progression from Pony European silver medallist to member of the Senior Irish National Team.


    Over the years, Shane has built an impressive international career, with Grand Prix victories at Lummen, Monaco and Dublin in 2019. That journey reached a major milestone in 2022, when he finally won the Hickstead Derby on Can Ya Makan, a triumph that came on his 17th attempt.


    In this episode, Shane discusses the pride and pressure of jumping at home, the strategy behind Derby Day, and what it takes to sustain a top-level career in showjumping, all while raising a family at Hickstead.


    We LOVE hearing from you.
