Pony Games Podcast

Introducing this week's guest, Leah Robertson

We are always trying to think of people to give interesting, new perspectives on our sport... Leah covers a special part in the huge world that is social media and produces valuable Mounted Games content. The platform she has created for herself has made her an ambassador for the sport and an idol to many young riders around the world!

I had never met Leah until this episode (apart from friendly hellos in passing) and truly enjoyed my time chatting with her

This was recorded a good few weeks ago, a lost laptop has set us back a bit Should be back in the swing of things soon!

Hope you enjoy

After receiving a message from Andrea the night before World Individuals asking to borrow an air bed, I took the opportunity to offer an air bed in exchange for his time on the podcast! 

He mentioned being keen to discuss his concerns with the Italian selection process, and the dangers facing the athletes and ponies due to the Italian rule book allowing shorter distances between poles and from the safety area along the back fence. And who better than top Italian rider Andrea Farinetti to give us an insight into how Mounted Games works in Italia!?

Here it is..

PGP Hosts Kyle, Tomas, and Rory get together after a mix of holidaying, isolating and riding/commentating to catch up on the World Team Championships. A quick one this week, enjoy!

Today Tom and I are joined by Dr. Meg The Vet and Lily Solomon to pick at the mind of successful trainer Bella Capel. We discuss different aspects of training, riding, selections, World Team Champs, Champions League, and all the politics in between. Always a good chat with Bella! Enjoy!

On our last podcast with Widu before European Championships, he said he will see us next time with the gold around his neck... And here he is ladies and gentlemen... We get an interesting run-through of the competition and discuss things like the controversial reffing, the starts, the sessions, and everything in between! 

Looking forward to the video tutorials/ coaching Widu has been working on... Appreciate the dedication to the sport and think everyone could benefit from the content being created.

We catch up with Swiss rider Marino after his first session in the European Individuals. Listen in for a rider's perspective of the competition so far! I'm posting this as he is out on the second race in the A final. A safe start to the final so far! Good luck brother!

Today we were fortunate enough to have Widu Moorman join us for an analysis of the European Championships taking place over the coming days.  A unique twist this year with just 7 teams entered due to coronavirus and Brexit should make for an interesting "5 day, 6 part final" with every point to fight for from day 1. Italy or France might be the favourites this year but we eagerly await Colin Carsons Bookies View to make the final call.

Safe travels to all our listeners heading to Europeans in Denmark, I hope you enjoy this episode, best of luck at the competition!

Today we are joined by Bella Capel's favourite (and self-proclaimed "better looking") child, Jack Capel. Join us as we pick the mind of the 3rd fastest sock vaulter to date, and share some fun stories. This one is probably in need of parental guidance, for the younger listeners... Maybe give this one a skip.

Kyle catches up with successful trainer and owner of the controversial "Bookies View" Facebook page. Colin has played a huge role in growing the sport around the world and is a wealth of knowledge. Enjoy!

After calling out Greg James and his "slow" pony in the Facebook comments section.... Kyle managed to get Greg to come on the podcast. We chat a bit about Gregs games career and get to learn a bit about who he is. We even get a cheeky appearance from Rory Capel. So if you want to listen in on the chat you're in the right place ;) 

All the love to our listeners <3
