Following an impromptu ride by Pippa Funnell on ILPH Bob the Cob at her lecture/demo at an Equine Event in Essex last December, Bob has been invited to join her on her next tour.

Pippa, who was the first winner of the Rolex Grand Slam title last year, together with her husband, international show jumper William Funnell, will be taking their tour on the road at the end of February.

Entitled the Funnell Factor it promises an evening of high class training mixed with hilarious entertainment and will be featured at several locations around the country.

Pippa, a long time supporter of the ILPH, who launched their on-going campaign Say NO to Live Exports at Punchestown last Autumn, comments, "ILPH Bob the Cob is a true reflection of the wonderful work that the ILPH does - From a horse that was found starving on the Norfolk marshes, they have turned him around to be the charity's perfect equine ambassador that he is today. I am really looking forward to having him with us on our tour."
