“Pammy Hutton conned me into dressage,” said our special guest on this week’s pod. The very lovely Davy Harvey joins us to talk about the horses that have meant the most to him and his climb from a go-ey Shetland to ‘a bit of Grand Prix’. We loved talking to Davy - he’s self-effacing, laid back and charming and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed our chat! 

Tania talks ex-racers, balance and bend in canter and strong diagonal lines. Katie gets acquainted with a devil, and we give details of our fabulous prize that’s up for grabs!

Welcome to Series 3 of Poles, Piaffe & Prosecco! This month we are asking, “What Horses Mean To Me”. In today’s episode we chat with the remarkably level headed Ruby Hughes about her life with horses and a potential return to vaulting. We’d like to bottle Ruby’s brilliant attitude. Pretty sure we could become millionaires!

We continue investigating 'What horses do for us' in today's episode of the pod. Today we meet Maggie, who started her journey with horses as an adult ten years ago. Maggie was born without fingers on her left hand due to amniotic band syndrome, and competes both as a para rider and able bodied. In this episode, Maggie shares her very personal story of what horses do for her.

As always, Tania answers your training questions and we enjoy a tack room tipple.

All of this month we’ve been delving into what horses do for us, and today’s guests represent one of the most prolific charities that are known for changing the lives of disabled and disadvantaged people with horses.

Formed in 1969, the Riding for the Disabled Association enriches lives through the unique bond between people and horses. Over 25,000 disabled children and adults are supported through activities including riding, carriage driving, and equine assisted programmes such as Quiet Corners and Tea with a Pony.

The organisation is the pioneer of the therapeutic use of horses, leaders in disability sport, and the only major UK charity focused specifically on the health and wellbeing benefits of bringing people and horses together, and in this episode we talk to the RDA's Michael Bishop and paralympic medallist Mari Durward Akhurst. We loved our conversation with Michael and Mari, and we hope you enjoy it too.

For many of us, marking a life event with a horse is the stuff our dreams are made of. Imagine being taken to your wedding in a shiny carriage, pulled by white horses. Or saying your final goodbye to a loved one that takes their last journey on a hearse pulled by black horses - the comfort a soft nose gives grieving relatives. Our guest in today's pod makes that a possibility.

White Horse Farm Equestrian Centre in Meopham, Kent is renowned for its unique blend of equestrian services and creative experiences, from carriage horses to dressage horses and everything in between, its horses mark our life events, teach us to ride and entertain us with its innovative Bravo Show. The centre is run by Emma Nuttall, and today Emma shares what horses have done for her, and what they do for us though her.

Find out more about Emma, her services and the Bravo Show here: https://whitehorsefarmequestrian.com

Welcome to May, friends! The April showers are behind us, and with a new month comes a new theme. Throughout May, we are exploring 'What Horses Do For Us'.

Now, day to day, we know that our hooved friends bring immense joy to our life, but we’re going deeper than that, and I am so excited to introduce today’s special guest. Imagine if you will being elderly with no contact with animals, and feeling a small soft nose find its way into your hand. Or being contained in prison, frustrated and seeking help, and finding that help in an unlikely source: a small shaggy shetland pony. Or you have a grieving child that you can’t reach, but a small pair of fluffy ears helps that child to talk. Kingswood Shetlands and Friends was set up by Sarah Lopez, as a centre that offers equine assisted therapy, and the ponies also visit prisons and care homes. We loved talking with Sarah - her work is exceptional, and the stories are truly heartwarming.

Find out more about the charity here: https://kingswoodshetlands.org

From working the ‘doors’ to managing yards, our guest this week has done it all. But a chance encounter with the owner of a television enterprise, changed the course of her career and untapped a talent for interviewing and working both in front of and behind the camera. Joining us on today’s pod is presenter, producer and director, Jenny Rudall. We loved chatting with Jenny, and we hope you enjoy listening!

Tania, as always, answers your questions and we get stuck into a new tack room tipple.
