Carl Hester – Behind the Medals, the Moments & the Man
The wait is over — the Carl Hester episode is finally here, and it’s every bit worth it.
In this deeply personal and captivating conversation, we sit down with Carl Hester in his own home for an episode that goes far beyond dressage.
Often hailed as a national treasure, Carl opens up about the person behind the podium, sharing stories that are funny, moving, and refreshingly honest. We talk about:
Coming out in the equestrian world — and how it shaped his life and career
Sitting in the Royal Box at Wimbledon (yes, really)
Being outed on live radio
What it really feels like to win, lose, or just survive the madness of elite sport
And how his non-horsey friends react to his success
It’s Carl as you’ve never heard him before — unfiltered, warm, and full of stories that will make you laugh, reflect, and fall in love with him all over again.
