This week on Shut Up and Ride, the gang is one man down as Ben swans off to rub shoulders (and apparently more) with Hollywood’s finest—but fear not, because Jenny and Simon more than pick up the slack.

Jenny is in full storytelling mode, diving into the electric atmosphere of the World Cup and the emotional high of watching Becky Moody deliver a truly unforgettable performance. It’s goosebumps, tears, and top-tier sport… swiftly followed by one of the most hilariously awkward moments you’ll ever hear, involving none other than Lady A. Yes, it’s as cringey as it sounds—and then some.

Meanwhile, Simon is deep in Badminton prep—and it’s all coming together. From training rides to final tweaks, he’s feeling focused, confident, and quietly excited as everything starts to click into place ahead of the big event.

No Ben, no filter, and absolutely no holding back—just the way you like it.

In the latest episode of Shut Up and Ride, the full team reunites in the studio, joined by special guest Charles Owen, to dig into one of the biggest talking points in the industry right now: the recent factory closure that’s been surrounded by speculation, half-truths, and plenty of rumors.

Together, they cut through the noise and get to the heart of what really happened. From insider perspectives to hard questions that others won’t ask, this episode goes beyond headlines to explore the real impact on workers, riders, and the future of the scene.

Expect honest opinions, lots of hilarious moments, and the kind of unfiltered conversation you’ve come to expect.

If you’ve heard the rumors—this is the episode you need to hear.

This week on Shut Up and Ride, Ben, Simon, and Jenny are all back in the saddle for an episode that goes everywhere…

We dive headfirst into the latest chaos in the horse world —the good, the bad, and the downright baffling. Jenny brings her weekly rant (and no, it’s NOT about corgis this time…). Beagles have entered the chat, and honestly, they’re not safe.

Meanwhile, we somehow end up discussing the Manosphere (yes, really) and Louis Theroux—because why not mix horses with existential documentaries?

Simon shares his latest ambitions of treading the boards and becoming a full-blown actor (watch this space…), while Ben updates us on his ongoing horse-related antics—which may or may not involve questionable decision-making.

And of course, we take a nostalgic detour into our own ridiculous youth stories… some things are better left in the past, but we’re sharing them anyway

Expect laughs, chaos, strong opinions, and absolutely no clear answers to the big question: is it a horse… or is it a dolphin?

️Simon and Jenny sit down with brilliant course designer Helen West for a fascinating chat about life behind the scenes of cross-country course design.

From working in a traditionally male-dominated world to the reality that designing a course is a bit more complicated than just sticking a few logs in a field, Helen shares what really goes into building tracks that challenge riders while keeping horses safe.

We also talk about the fence involved in the tragic fall that claimed the life of rider Georgie Campbell — and Helen explains the thinking behind fence design and whether there was anything wrong with that particular obstacle.

Simon reflects on the risks in the sport and how understanding them shouldn’t take away from people’s enjoyment of eventing.

If you’re heading out eventing this season, this episode is packed full of advice — plus some of Helen’s course-walking pet peeves

And of course, we also find out how Helen and Jenny became friends… over a couple of piña coladas!

Yes. That’s the episode title. No, we won’t explain it here.

In the latest episode of Shut Up and Ride, Simon and I answer your questions — from who we actually follow on Instagram, to how Simon somehow ended up being compared to… well… an Australian fireman holding a kitten.

We also revisit Jenny's ski “career.” And by career, we mean a series of unfortunate sliding incidents that absolutely nobody asked for but everyone seems to enjoy.

But in between the chaos, we take a moment to pause and pay tribute to two extraordinary horses who recently passed — Sam, the legendary partner of Michael Jung, and Mr Bass, longtime partner of Laura Collett.

These horses weren’t just medal winners. They were teammates, teachers, and once-in-a-lifetime partners. The kind that shape careers and leave a mark on the entire sport.

It’s an episode full of laughter, listener questions, mild self-destruction… and a heartfelt salute to two greats.

This week on Shut Up and Ride, we’re joined by the incredible Dr Louise Newson, one of the UK’s leading voices on women’s hormone health.

From PMDD to perimenopause, menopause and everything in between, Dr Newson breaks down what’s really happening in our bodies — and why so many women are still being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left to struggle in silence.

At one point, we discuss the kind of advice women are still being given — including being told to “eat fruit and pray.” Yes, really. And we talk about why that simply isn’t good enough when it comes to serious hormonal and mental health symptoms.

We dive into the mental health impact of hormone imbalance, including anxiety, depression and suicide risk, and the life-changing health benefits of getting the right support and treatment.

We also put your questions directly to her — like why can’t women easily access testosterone? and how do we actually get our GP to listen to us?

Jenny bravely shares parts of her own journey in the hope it helps others feel less alone and more empowered to advocate for themselves.

And it’s not just for women. Ben gets involved to represent the men, asking the questions partners, husbands and friends often don’t know how to ask — because understanding hormones isn’t just a “women’s issue,” it’s a family issue.

Honest, eye-opening and empowering — this is a conversation everyone needs to hear.

SHUT UP AND RIDE

We’re fresh off a hugely successful podcast tour and unpacking everything — the wins, the chaos, and the moments we’re still recovering from. Silly Prune (Hannah) joins the tour in truly iconic fashion, rolling up in a hilarious Liberty unicycle with full horse energy, while Becky Moody sends us all into a collective WTF moment (yes… we nearly killed her ). Somehow, through all of this, Simon became the happiest man on earth — and you’ll want to stick around to find out exactly why. Then we take a sharp turn into the Darwin Awards, celebrating some absolutely unreal human decisions. Tour tales, big laughs, and peak chaos — shut up and ride.

Buckle up.

SHUT UP AND RIDE

The latest episode of Shut Up and Ride kicks off the year exactly how we like it — with the usual chaos, laughs, and very little actual equestrian chat to begin with.

Once the giggles settle (kind of), it’s training time with Simon, as he dives into how he produces his horses from the ground up. From mindset to method, Simon breaks down his approach in a way that’s honest, practical, and refreshingly real — the good, the challenging, and everything in between.

It’s the perfect blend of banter and brains: start the year laughing, stay for the learning.
We loved this one — and we think you will too. ✨

Tune in, have a laugh, and come on tour with us.
