This week on Talk Horse, Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps are joined by one of the most recognisable faces in modern equestrian media, Esme Higgs, better known online as This Esme. Starting out as a young rider sharing her horsey life on YouTube, Esme has grown her channel into one of the biggest equestrian platforms in the world, reaching millions of viewers across more than 170 countries. But behind the glossy videos is a serious horsewoman with a deep passion for horse welfare, training, and bringing new audiences into the sport. Esme joins Pippa and Tristan to talk about growing up in an “unhorsey” family, how a simple YouTube channel turned into a global career and the realities of balancing content creation with riding. Plus a couple of big announcements for the upcoming Royal Windsor Horse show. Use the code TALKHORSE for 20% off tickets for the Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
