H&H’s Pippa Roome then catches up with the H&H news team to discuss the staff crisis in the horse industry, how research into horse vision is making racing and eventing safer and the initial outcome of an investigation into last year’s equine herpes outbreak in Europe. Finally, hunting vet Helen Van Tuyll is back to give us some advice into roughing horses off as the hunting season comes to an end. We hope you’ll enjoy listening.
