About this episode
There are some stories that stay with the sport forever.
This week, Nicole shines a light on Hannah's Willberry Wonder Pony charity as it celebrates 10 years of making an extraordinary impact. At Badminton, Nicole catches up with Hannah's mum Rachel Francis and trustee Miles Toulson-Clarke to reflect on Hannah's story, the community that rallied around her and the legacy that continues to grow today.
Following Hannah's osteosarcoma diagnosis at just 17, Willberry became far more than a mascot. What began as one young rider sharing her journey has gone on to fund vital research, grant life-changing wishes and support families facing impossible circumstances.
This is a conversation about horses, determination, community and the difference one person can make.
