Talking Horses on Sportfm

Tonight on Talking Horses 🐴

Joining us tonight are top show jumpers Phillip Lever and Frida Lindgren — the dynamic duo behind Lever Equestrian, the world-class training and coaching centre based on Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula.

We’ll be chatting about their competitive careers, coaching the next generation of internationally competitive young riders, developing talented young horses, and what it really takes to succeed as a professional equestrian athlete.

Both born into highly successful equestrian families, Frida grew up with horses in Sweden and has trained, worked and competed throughout Europe. Phillip was perhaps always destined for the international showjumping arena, with his father Laurie Lever representing Australia at the Olympics and his mother Annie enjoying great success in dressage and show horse competition.

Since returning to Australia after competing successfully in Nations Cups and Grand Prix events across Europe, Phillip has claimed the Australian Senior Championship, the Victorian Senior State Title, and the World Cup qualifier at Willinga Park aboard the outstanding Billionaire NZPH.

Whether you’re listening in the car, at the stables, or tuning in on your phone, there’ll be plenty to talk about tonight from 6pm on SportFM 91.3 🎙️📻

Tonight on Talking Horses 🎙️🐴

We’ll be catching up with local photographer Jessie Lloyd, whose passion for photography was perhaps inevitable growing up with her dad, Eric Lloyd, one of WA’s best-known equestrian photographers. 📸

A professional photographer for more than 10 years, Jessie has spent countless hours behind the lens capturing horses and riders at their very best. Tonight we’ll be chatting about her journey into photography, what it takes to be an equestrian photographer, and of course we’ll be asking for some handy tips on how to take great horse photos yourself!

So if the weather has you inside early tonight, get the horses sorted, settle in with a glass of wine and tune in live to 91.3 SportFM from 6pm 🍷 📻

Joining us this week is Shannon Crosby, whose lifelong journey with horses has taken her from western pleasure to showing and breeding Miniature Horses and Ponies - and ultimately into the world of carriage driving.

Shannon first discovered carriage driving through volunteering with Riding for the Disabled more than a decade ago, and it quickly became her passion. We’ll be chatting about what drew her to the sport, what makes a good driving horse or pony, some of the challenges faced by the WA carriage driving community, plus a few memorable moments she’s experienced along the way 😊

Tune in from 6pm tonight on SportFM 91.3.

This week we’re chatting with Sarah Hasenlust, who has been travelling Australia from Germany since late 2023 and working at a number of equestrian centres along the way - including Fernhill Equestrian and Peppercorn Park in NSW, and more recently Yalambi Farm Stud here in WA.

We’ll be chatting about the differences she’s noticed between the equestrian industry in Germany and Australia, what she’s made of the WA horse scene, and some of the differences she’s found between Australian and German showjumpers.

It’s a really interesting perspective from someone experiencing our industry from the outside looking in - so tune in tonight for the chat 😊

We’re really looking forward to chatting with Sarah Nickels from Abbey’s Run Equestrian this evening - many of you might already recognise her from her recent articles in Hoofbeats magazine.

After a serious accident in 2008, Sarah was inspired to rethink her approach to training, and now focuses on building safer, trust-based partnerships with horses, something we can’t wait to explore on the show.

Join us at 6pm on 91.3 SportFM - whether you’re out settling the horses or winding down for the evening, it’s the perfect time to tune in 📻

We’re back LIVE at 6pm on 91.3 SportFM 📻

After a week off air (and a guest host in the hot seat the week before), Simon is back and we’ve got a great show lined up!

Tonight’s guest is Kate Jessop, the owner of the Wanneroo Riding and Therapeutic Centre — and she’s bringing a fascinating story with her.

From a career in marketing to running one of Perth’s largest riding and agistment centres, Kate works in the equine assisted learning space, using horses, mindfulness and practical exercises to help people build confidence, awareness and emotional regulation.

We’ll be talking about why horses are so powerful in this work, what actually happens in a session, and where this growing industry could be heading next.

So plenty to chat about with Kate tonight — a story that shows how horses can really change a life.

Make sure you tune in live at 6pm 🎧
