S2 #6 Horses, headlines & reassessing riding risks | Chat with Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes
In this episode of the Equestrian Mums Club podcast, your resident ‘Calamity Janes’ (Katie & Sophie) saddle up for a wonderfully honest chat with BBC broadcaster, director, and producer Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes - about juggling horses, humans, and headlines!
We’re diving into the wild ride of equestrian life meets motherhood - from the emotional highs (and occasional mud-splattered lows) of competition, to how becoming a mum can shake up our confidence and sense of risk in the saddle.
Expect plenty of laughter, a few “been there” moments, and some seriously insightful takeaways about safety (did you know… Lizzie is a Road Safety Ambassador for the British Horse Society?!), self-care, and staying connected to the passion that keeps us all trotting on - our love for horses.
Lizzie also shares a few golden “Ask the Expert” nuggets from her (very impressive!) media career that we can bring straight into the stable. Because who doesn’t love a bit of pro-level pony wisdom?
🐴 PLUS! An exclusive sneak peek just for our listeners - Lizzie gives us the inside scoop on the upcoming Horse & Country All Star Academy series - now in it's sixth season; this year proudly sponsored by Blackfort Equestrian.
Catch Episodes 1 & 2 exclusively on H&C+ from 20th November!

Making time for your horse is vital for your sanity (and theirs!)
Motherhood can totally shift your confidence and your view of risk - and that’s okay.
Building your horse’s confidence is as important as building your own; it’s a team effort.
