Grapevine Stories

Interview with Pippa Funnell

Badminton should have been just round the corner so I decided to catch up with Pippa Funnell about the season ahead and her why she's still in love with the sport of three day eventing.


I chat to Pippa, who should have been competing her 2019 Burghley winner, MGH Grafton Street, at this year's Badminton Horse Trials. We discuss her glittering career, being the first winner of The Rolex Grand Slam, winning Badminton and the European Championships on two seperate occasions. We also talk about how the last year has affected her business and the sport of eventing.
