Everything Horse Magazine is delighted to announce the launch of the brand-new Everything Horse Podcast, hosted by one of the biggest personalities the equestrian world has ever produced, Geoff Billington. And trust us… if you know Geoff, you already know this is going to be entertaining.
A two-time Olympian, Nations Cup rider, Hickstead Derby winner and one of Britain’s most recognisable showjumpers, Geoff has spent decades at the very heart of the horse world. From championship arenas and Olympic Games to collecting rings, warm-up arenas and lorry parks across the country, there is very little Geoff has not seen, heard or experienced.
Most famously partnered with the legendary It’s Otto, Geoff represented Great Britain at both the Atlanta and Sydney Olympic Games and became one of the most respected and recognisable riders of his generation. But alongside the medals, championships and international success, Geoff has always been known for something else too – saying exactly what everybody else is thinking.
Which is precisely why he is the perfect person to host the Everything Horse Podcast.
Having spent a lifetime in the sport, Geoff knows many of the biggest names in the horse world. From Olympic legends of years gone by to today’s top international riders, owners, trainers and personalities, Geoff has friendships and stories spanning generations of equestrian sport.
And thanks to son Alfie Billington’s own successful career in showjumping, Geoff remains firmly in the middle of the modern sport too, giving him a unique perspective on how the horse world has changed – for better and for worse.
Expect Geoff to talk all things:
• Equestrian news
• Controversial topics
• Behind-the-scenes stories
• Training and riding tips
• Horse welfare
• Showjumping
• Eventing
• Dressage
• Racing
• Pony Club memories
• Famous riders
• Rising stars
• Old-school horse world stories
• And plenty of things that probably shouldn’t be heard online…
One minute he might be sharing Olympic memories from the 1990s and the next he might be discussing social media pressure, modern horse welfare debates or life behind the scenes at today’s top shows.
Most importantly though, Geoff brings humour, honesty and personality to everything he does. He says it how it is, has no filter and is guaranteed to ask the questions everybody else is too frightened to ask.
Expect special guests from across the equestrian world, stories that have never been told before and the sort of behind-the-scenes insight only somebody like Geoff could bring.
Further details, launch dates and guest announcements will be revealed soon on the Everything Horse website shortly.
