George And Charlie: Off The Bridle

William Haggas joins us for one of our most enjoyable and entertaining episodes… for starters he talks about Baaeed ahead of the brilliant colt’s appearance at York. William also reflects on his career with insight and humour. He recalls his pride on being asked to train for The Queen and also remembers his times as pupil assistant to Sir Mark Prescott. There’s a particularly funny story about a painful awakening when he was late in for morning stables at Heath House! He also makes us laugh about how he developed his riding skills with the late international show jumper Ted Williams. As well as William being a brilliant guest, Charlie talks about options for his Glorious Goodwood Group-race winner Marbaan. There is just one thing missing from our latest episode – and that’s George! But the presence of G Scott is never far away, not least because Charlie takes the opportunity to have a pop or two at him in his absence! We hope you’ll agree that Episode 4 of Series 4 is a great listen…
