PODCAST 13: Amy Bannister-Bell talks adopting kids & breeding horses…

It’s been a while since we released our chat with Alice Plunkett and Leanne Pipe, but it’s now 2023 and we are back for Season 2 of Racing Home!

The first phase of the project went really well, and we’re delighted to have received support and funding for the next stage from the Racing Foundation and Kindred Group, which will allow the team to embark on further research and roll out the groundbreaking physiotherapy programme produced in conjunction with the Injured Jockeys Fund and Racing Welfare. Can’t wait.

We’ve talked to a whole host of professionals across horseracing to bring you a range of persectives – there’s Lizzie Kelly on the jockey front, Claire Kübler from a trainers perspective, Leo Powell from the Irish Field, and a whole heap more. Don’t forget to listen then share the series with friends or anyone you know that might find it useful and interesting. We’d appreciate it.

My first guest for Season 2 is Amy Bannister Bell, a breeder, backer, producer of horses, instructor, coach and mother to a sibling group of three adopted children with her partner Alice.
