The pair share how they first met in the showjumping ring - when Kara cheekily beat Matt - and how that friendly rivalry grew into a partnership both in and out of the saddle. They talk about their shared passion for producing top-level horses, the highs and lows of life on the international circuit, and the challenge of juggling two elite careers.
