For this webinar, we were joined by Pippa Funnell, whose legendary 30-year career at the top of eventing has included 3 Badminton Horse Trials wins, 2 Burghley Horse Trials wins, 2 European Eventing Championship wins, 3 Olympic medals, and being the first winner of the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing.
Joining Pippa in a wide-ranging, informal panel discussion were Gill Keegan – lawyer, life-long rider, and horse lover who has ridden and owned horses in the UK, Australia, India, and the USA – and Jordan Headspeath, who joined the World Horse Welfare team at Belwade Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Aberdeenshire in 2018, and who breeds Highland ponies on her family farm.
All of our panellists have experienced the ups and downs of the equestrian world, and talk about how they have dealt with peer pressure, whose opinion matters to the horse, and the importance of communication and interpersonal relations in the horse world.
