In this episode, Caroline sits down with Piper Klemm , publisher of The Plaid Horse , to unpack how the story unfolded behind the scenes, what private equity's growing presence in horse sport could mean for the future of the industry, and why this moment may reveal deeper economic fragilities within equestrian sport itself.
