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.

Today’s pod is all about teenage laughter, life lessons, and the late nights that helped shape a career with horses - as Pippa is joined by one of her oldest friends and ex 5* eventer, Justine Ward.
