Martin Pipe

Available for 30 days

Horse trainer Martin Pipe is castaway by Sue Lawley. Martin has turned horse training into a science. His animals have the choice of a swimming pool, indoor canter and walking machine, while the on-site laboratory monitors their temperature, blood and weight throughout the day. Yet he retains his love for the horses themselves - a passion which has made him one of the most successful trainers in Britain. Martin Pipe retired in 2006, handing over to son, David although he continued to be involved.
