This week, Pippa and Tristan are joined in their brand-new Talk Horse home by Tullis Matson, Managing Director of Stallion AI (that’s Artificial Insemination, folks…) and the perfect person to explain to Tristan that horses can’t yet be bred by the other kind of AI.

Tullis has worked in stallion reproduction for over 30 years and is now channelling that incredible knowledge and passion into a new mission: collecting and storing material from endangered animal species in a wildlife biobank. It’s mind-blowing stuff.

Also – we have our first competition! We’re giving away four tickets to the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Saturday 17th May, with guaranteed front row seats for the Talk Horse Live show – plus some fab merch.

To enter, email us at info@talk-horse.com with Windsor in the subject line and tell us:

Tristan’s still away, so the girls will play! Today’s pod is all about teenage laughter, life lessons, and the late nights that helped shape a career with horses - as Pippa is joined by one of her oldest friends and ex 5* eventer, Justine Ward. The pair met in 1987 and have been on quite a journey from young apprentices to competing at the highest level. Learning their trade in the legendary Ruth McMullen’s yard, Pippa and Justine explore the incredible grounding it gave them… and just how much of their wages ended up in the local.

Justine also shares what it’s like to return to eventing in your 50s — and the time she got very carried away at Pippa’s horse auction.

Please note - a few stories may not be suitable for younger ears.

It’s Grand National week, so who else could we have in the studio but Bob Champion - a man synonymous with his stunning and emotional 1981 victory on Aldaniti.

Bob shares his incredible journey, from his early days as a rider to his triumphant return to the saddle after overcoming a life-threatening cancer diagnosis, and behind the scenes gossip of the incredible film Champion made about his life.

Meanwhile, with Tristan away in Hong Kong, Pippa is joined by last week’s guest - the fabulous Louise Bell. And with the Royal Windsor Horse Show on the horizon, they have news of a very special deal just for Talk Horse listeners.
