In our ninth weekly episode of the first series of The Horse &amp; Hound Podcast, we kick off with an exclusive interview featuring Olympic dressage rider Spencer Wilton. Our dressage editor Polly Bryan chats to Spencer about how it felt to be selected for the British team at the biggest champonship of them all, the highlights of his time in Rio, his hopes for 2021 and his recent move to a new yard. Moving on to the week’s top news stories, our news editor Eleanor Jones, senior news writer Lucy Elder and news writer Becky Murray all join our podcast host and H&amp;H magazine editor Pippa Roome to discuss this week’s key stories including lorry safety, FEI blood rules and how to stay safe when riding on beaches. We also hear from vet Ricky Farr MRCVS, who this week warns owners not to underestimate the risk that tetanus holds for our horses. We hope you will enjoy it.

The Horse & Hound Podcast 9: British Olympian Spencer Wilton | Tetanus in horses | News round-up

Although starting in the world of eventing, Spencer turned to dressage in his 20s. He’s won 13 national titles and with is partner in the arena Super Nova, helped bring home team silver at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and team bronze at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon in 2018.As a trainer and rider, Spencer comes up with the best exercises….and lots of them! In this interview he breaks down his process for us. We talk about what the hardest thing is to achieve in dressage, the importance of transitions AND discipline as well as trying to balance your training and test riding at home and we also touch on how dressage is evolving.Spencer also delves into mental preparation and his crazy lead up to WEG at Tryon which was really interesting because sometimes you just don’t realise what’s been going on behind the scenes when you see the perfect combinations step out at the big shows. And speaking of shows, what does Super Nova think about prize givings?! …and is why Charlotte, “so annoying.” ;-) Spencer was brought out to Australia by Dressage Masterclass and I was lucky enough to watch him teach at the IRT Future Stars Clinic in Sydney.
