What Makes a Future Top Horse? Pippa Funnell Explains | Free Rein Friday

This week, Pippa reflects on bringing on her latest group of young horses, why she’s careful not to overdo them and the little things she notices when deciding whether a horse has real potential.

There’s also a catch-up from Blenheim, Cornbury and Hickstead.

Later, Pippa shares her thoughts on modern horse sport, looks back on the Olympic Games and the Lone Ranger returns for another mystery country.
