This week, Tristan is away—but fear not, we’ve got a very special episode for you. Pippa is in conversation with her old friend Alice Fox-Pitt (Plunkett), the only woman to have ridden at both Badminton and over the Grand National course at Aintree, before hanging up her rosettes to become a mainstay of horse racing coverage on both Channel 4 and ITV. In a candid discussion, the pair explore Alice’s remarkable career, their husbands - including William Fox-Pitt’s recovery after a 2015 riding accident left him in a coma - and what’s next for Pippa… If you've enjoyed this pod - please do follow and leave a nice review.
