Tilly, Turning Pro & Tristan’s Dream Discipline - It's Free Rein Friday!

Welcome back to another Free Rein Friday on Talk Horse! 🐎

Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps dive into your questions and share some behind-the-scenes stories from the equestrian world.

Pippa reveals how her beloved children's book series, "Tilly's Pony Tails," actually came to be (and whether we'll ever see Tilly grow up!). We also tackle a listener dilemma: what do you do when your horse seems "too careful" for eventing? Pippa shares her expert advice on reading your horse’s confidence and knowing when to stick with a discipline or try something new.

Plus, we answer a brilliant question about making the leap to becoming a professional rider—proving it's never too late to chase your equestrian dreams.
