## Resource

We’re back for Series 3 of Talk Horse! Did you miss us? We’re kicking things off in style with a guest hot off a flight from LA. Actor Joe Ashman, otherwise known as Callum in Netflix’s epic equine drama Free Rein, sits down with Olympic eventer Pippa Funnell and Made in Chelsea star Tristan Phipps to discuss all things horse. How he exaggerated his riding ability to land his dream role, why Free Rein ignited a love of horses, his bond with his on screen equine partner Milo, and his passion for the work he now does as an ambassador for the Riding for the Disabled Association. Donate to Joe's London Marathon for the RDA here https://2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/joe-ashman?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPMTI0MDI0NTc0Mjg3NDE0AAGnAzfYunM4mViLZVqiYGEXcUZp1-XfNuzgKAFcOAGKpGZpPJrNEiNdAeO8RiI_aem_-zt3qRICJM8d_PzMeo4IbQ Plus, he has an important message for Tristan about why it’s never too late to start riding. And the games are back! Today Pippa takes on Tristan in “Nay-Listers”. There may even have been some cheeky cheating. We’ll be revealing all on our socials this week... Whether you’re a lifelong rider or simply horse curious, saddle up and let’s Talk Horse. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
