 Getting to Greenwich

Viewers get the opportunity to see what happens behind the scenes at Piggy’s busy yard, meet the horses and watch the trials and tribulations of her quest to achieve the once in a lifetime dream of competing in the Olympics on home turf.
Piggy’s film was exclusively screened at the Electric Cinema in Notting Hill, London and will be repeated on Horse & Country channel over the coming weeks.
