On this episode we speak to top event rider Harry Meade, who is the man of the moment following his incredible cross-country performances at both Kentucky and Badminton this spring.
He told us all about his impressive team of five-star horses and shared some of his secrets to being a speed king across country.
“With my style of riding, I don’t need to practise riding fast. What I need to do is slow the horse’s brain down and get that complete relaxation. Once I’ve got that, I can add in the speed on demand” – Harry Meade on his art of riding fast across country
We also hear from Sally Wright, who will talk about her horses and experiences of making an insurance claim related to them, in an advertisement feature with The Insurance Emporium.
