Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps are joined by show-jumping superstars, and engaged couple, Matt Sampson and Kara Chad.

Kara grew up in Calgary and has represented Canada in Nations Cups, the 2018 World Equestrian Games and as a travelling reserve at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Matt is one of Britain’s most exciting talents - he progressed from pony championships and has gone on to claim major international victories, including being crowned Leading Rider at the 2023 London International Horse Show.

The pair share how they first met in the showjumping ring - when Kara cheekily beat Matt - and how that friendly rivalry grew into a partnership both in and out of the saddle. They talk about their shared passion for producing top-level horses, the highs and lows of life on the international circuit, and the challenge of juggling two elite careers. Plus Matt’s unexpected singing talents…

Also Tristan puts Pippa’s put on the spot in a game of “Horses for Choruses…”

Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps are joined by eventer and social media star Megan Elphick, the rider behind Elphick Event Ponies, who has turned her grassroots eventing journey into a true digital phenomenon.

From early days at Pony Club to producing her own horses and sharing every high (and the occasional bump back down to earth) with hundreds of thousands of followers, Megan has built a passionate community who love her honesty, humour and genuine love for horses.

Pippa and Tristan chat to Megan about balancing eventing and content creation, what life is really like as an eventing influencer, and how social media is reshaping the equestrian world.

Plus, Megan gives Pippa a crash course in dating apps, and Tristan tests her Gen Z slang knowledge. Will she truly embody “Mane Character Energy”?

He opens up about his unforgettable partnership with Mr Softee, the horse that made him a household name, and the grit, glamour, and occasional chaos of competing around the world when British showjumping was at its peak. From early memories of growing up in Wales and building a career alongside his father, to his reflections on how the sport has evolved and what still drives his passion today, it’s a rare and personal insight from one of the greats.

Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps are Talking Horse with one of the most exciting young talents in British racing, Saffie Osborne. From a childhood spent eventing to becoming one of the flat racing world’s most talked-about jockeys, Saffie has carved out her own path in a sport that runs deep in her family’s bloodline. She opens up about her early days in the saddle, what drew her away from eventing and into the racing world, and how she’s making her mark in a fiercely competitive arena.

She reflects on the devastating accident at Windsor, the long road back to fitness, and the determination that has since powered her to major wins on the track. From the thrill of big race days to the challenges of being a young woman in racing and a little bit of Pippa fan girling along the way.

This week on Talk Horse, Pippa and Tristan are joined by Captain Rebecca Bee, Second in Command of the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, one of the most famous mounted regiments in the British Army. Known for their spectacular displays at Coronations, Trooping the Colour, and Royal Salutes, the Troop combine world-class horsemanship with military precision.

Rebecca talks about her journey from elite athlete to the Army, revealing the surprising details of life in the regiment. From the hidden history of ceremonial buttons to the challenge of riding bone-crunching wooden saddles, she opens up about traditions, training, and the many opportunities available to horse lovers in the British Army.

This week, Pippa and Tristan sit down with one of racing’s most iconic trainers, Henrietta Knight -  the woman behind the legendary Best Mate, whose extraordinary record of three consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cup victories has never been beaten.

But that’s not all. Alongside racing, she is a breeder of Connemara ponies, a showing judge, and an author. And despite retiring in 2012, she made a remarkable return to training in 2023 and has already saddled winners on both the Flat and over hurdles. An incredible list of achievements and an epic life story.

Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps are back for Talk Horse Series Two. And we're off to a flying start as we welcome two of the biggest names in equestrian social media: Harlow White and Demir.

Making her first ever podcast appearance, Harlow White has become one of the most recognisable young equestrian influencers online. With over one million followers across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, her vlogs, pony life updates and riding challenges have built a passionate global fanbase of horse-mad followers.

And we're lucky enough to also have Demir in the studio. His slick, creative and often hilarious equestrian content has exploded on TikTok and Instagram. His videos have introduced horse culture to new audiences, sparking conversations, laughs and plenty of viral moments.

Together in the Talk Horse studio, Harlow and Demir share their love of the equine world, talk about their social media journeys, and reveal what it takes to inspire and entertain such massive online communities.

They’ve been on our dream guest list from day one, so Pippa and Tristan were over the moon to welcome showjumping sensations Jack Whitaker and Joe Stockdale to the Talk Horse Live Tent at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

Rising stars of British showjumping, Jack Whitaker and Joe Stockdale compete at 5* level earning podium finishes and acclaim. They reflect on their shared equestrian heritage, the friendly yet fiercely competitive rivalry and the realities of life on the international showjumping circuit. They also let us in on some more unexpected sides of themselves, from romantic getaways and Joe’s domestic prowess to Jack’s unexpected turn as a Tatler model.

This week on Talk Horse, Pippa and Tristan are chomping at the bit to chat with top equine dentist Chris Warren. After starting his career as a jockey, a career-ending injury led him to explore equine dentistry, where he’s become one of the best in the field. Eight of his horse “patients” competed at the Paris Olympics alone!

Horse teeth can be a bit “out of sight, out of mind” - but caring for your horse’s mouth is an essential part of their overall health and wellbeing. Chris is here to offer insight and advice on how best to do that.

Plus, Tristan tries on our fabulous Talk Horse merch. Available now at talkhorse.shop

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.

There aren’t many people who can lay claim to gracing the cover of Vogue at 16 and presenting equestrian TV coverage for channels such as Sky Sports – but Rosie Tapner has managed to carve out not one, but two incredibly successful careers.

She opens up about the challenges she faced in the fashion world, her lifelong love of horses, her successful career switch, and her and Pippa’s shared passion for retrained racehorses.

Plus, Tristan has received a new wildlife accolade, and Pippa has a surprise gift to aid his equine education.
