A Funnell Family affair – with Champion Showjumper William Funnell
It’s a special one this week as Tristan wrangles a pair of fabulous Funnells. He and Pippa are in conversation with Pippa’s husband of over 30 years - champion showjumper William Funnell. A master of the sport, including a record-breaking five wins at Hickstead, William has enjoyed a long career representing his country and achieving huge success as a breeder.
Get ready for laughs, expert insights, and a glimpse into the dynamic between two of the equestrian world’s most respected figures.
Plus, Tristan has a little test lined up to see if William is also a champion husband. And as the eventing season kicks off, Pippa looks ahead to her own plans for 2025.
Life's Hurdles with a Showjumping Legend
Pippa and Tristan chat to the incredible Di Lampard, the Performance Manager (or Chef d'Équipe) of the British Showjumping team. She’ll share insights on managing Olympians, how she fell in love with showjumping, her 'horse of a lifetime' Abbervail Dream, and how her late husband Dietmar, continues to inspire her work.
They’ll also be testing Pippa’s knowledge of her own computer games and discussing whether Tristan could be described as a “pony patter.”
