Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pippa Funnell’s Masterclass on Building a Brave Event Horse | Free Rein Friday
Q: Please could you share what your view on teaching bravery to horses and how you might go about that.
The key approach is to ensure the horse enjoys what it does, use an older lead horse to give confidence, stay relaxed, and gradually build up challenges with plenty of positive experiences before pushing further.
Pippa's Olympic Name Drama, Burghley Debrief & Starting Young Horses | Free Rein Friday
Q: Does William help with the starting of the young horses, and who decides if a young horse goes to Pippa or William for jumping?
Both acknowledge shared strengths in building patience and trust; Pippa tends to be more hands-on with younger horses, while William Fox-Pitt helps less with the real young ones due to a busier schedule, but can ride those that are a bit more challenging.
Free Rein Friday - Burghley Look Forward, Young Horse Advice & Safari Adventures
Q: If you could turn back time and do something differently from your horse career, what would it be and why?
Pippa reflects on potentially focusing earlier on the right horses or avoiding projects that wouldn't reach top-level glory, while valuing the journey and the lessons learned with each horse and experience.
Live at Burghley - Keeping Up with the Fox-Pitts!
Q: How do you handle pressure and expectations in a multi-day event?
They discuss dividing focus across dressage, show jumping, and cross-country, not letting one result define the whole performance, and relying on years of experience to manage nerves and stay grounded.
Tilly, Turning Pro & Tristan’s Dream Discipline - It's Free Rein Friday!
Q: How do you make the jump from a non-horsey family and corporate job to being a professional rider full time?
She suggests listening to experienced riders who have made similar transitions, working on personal development, and taking opportunities to observe and learn. If seriously pursuing professional dressage, one should seek mentorship, gain hands-on experience, and assess individual horse readiness and compatibility.
