It’s our Christmas special, and things get merry, messy, and very opinionated. We kick off with a deep dive into Becky Moody’s incredible test – why it hit so hard, what made it special, and why everyone’s still talking about it. Then it’s time for Charlotte Dujardin’s comeback, and yes… we’ve got thoughts

Jenny is finally back after working in Thailand, bringing sunshine stories and questionable life choices, while Ben lets us know exactly what he wants for Christmas . Simon tops it all off by arriving with Diana the Deer, because obviously he does.

Festive fun, dressage debate, unexpected guests and the usual Shut Up and Ride nonsense — pour a drink, saddle up, and enjoy the Christmas chaos. ✨

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

SHUT UP AND RIDE

LIVE on Stage at Your Horse Live — Chaos & Pet Peeves!
Things got spicy in this live episode recorded at Your Horse Live as influencer Silly Prune hit the stage — and immediately found herself in a full-blown debate with Ben over the real cost of horse shoes (spoiler: no one was backing down).

From there, it only got better (and weirder). Silly Prune opened up about her famously strange ways, the habits that confuse everyone, and the routines that somehow work… against all logic. Then we turned the spotlight on the audience with a hilarious Q&A on equestrian pet peeves — from late arena hoggers to horse time and everything in between.

To top it all off, the legends at Charles Owen stepped in to dish out the prizes.

Laugh-out-loud, slightly unhinged, and 100% real — this episode is pure live-show chaos in the best possible way.

Arguments, awkward confessions & horse-world icks — live on stage!

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

SHUT UP AND RIDE

Lucy Robinson joins us this week, and there is a lot to talk about — in the best way.

First up: pregnancy. Lucy shares how it feels to step into a totally new chapter while still holding onto her horsey identity. We talk energy levels (or lack thereof), shifting priorities, and the surprisingly emotional task of figuring out who you are when life changes shape. It’s honest, warm, and very, very relatable.

Then we move to her retraining journey with her ex-racehorse — who, let’s just say, has his own thoughts about dressage, patience, and what constitutes a “reasonable” pace. We get into progress, regressions, breakthroughs, and why doing things slowly can sometimes feel harder than going fast.

Plus:
Ben faces Rope HaltGate head-on after last week’s listener feedback (he’s fine, we think).
Jenny and Simon deliver the usual blend of support and friendly chaos.

If you’ve ever tried to do your best in the middle of major life changes — with a horse who also has opinions — this episode is for you.

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

SHUT UP AND RIDE

Have you been told magnets improve blood flow? Well, listen in for some home truths.

In this episode of Shut Up and Ride, Ben and Jenny dive headfirst into the world of holistic therapies for horses and animals. From crystals to magnetic bands, essential oils to energy work — are these treatments genuinely helpful, or just well-marketed nonsense?

Joining the chaos is the brilliant Matt Campbell, founder of EQU StreamZ® Bands, who sheds light on how his therapy works, the science (and skepticism) behind it, and the challenges faced in the equine wellness space.

Spoiler alert — Ben and Jenny are huge fans of the bands themselves, and after seeing the results firsthand, EQU StreamZ® has come on board as official Tour Welfare Sponsors!

It’s an honest, hilarious, and thought-provoking chat that’ll have you questioning what’s real healing and what’s just… horse shit.

Tune in, have a laugh, and decide for yourself — is it therapy, or is it bullshit?

SHUT UP AND RIDE

The gang is back together! Ben, Jenny, and Simon reunite for an epic episode full of laughs, rants, and revelations.

Ben’s fresh off ACL surgery and takes us through the gritty highs and lows of recovery — from pain meds and physio to the weird stuff you don’t hear about. Let’s just say it’s not all ice packs and Netflix.

We also dive into the excitement of the Shut Up and Ride Tour 2026, happening January 16–17 — mark your calendars, because it’s gonna be big!

And in true classic form, Simon’s French gets put to the test... and fails gloriously. Expect top-tier roasting from the crew.

Finally, Ben unleashes a full-on, no-holds-barred, bareback-style rant for this week’s “What Annoyed Him” — you won’t want to miss it.

Grab your coffee, helmet, or both — and shut up and ride with us!

Fresh from an unforgettable double clear at Burghley, Simon Grieve joins Jenny on Shut Up and Ride to relive the magic — from the focus in the saddle to the pure joy at the finish line.

In Simon’s own words: “I hugged everyone, even if I didn’t know them!”
This episode captures that exact energy — the hard work behind the scenes, the emotional release, and the celebration that followed.

We had so many requests to get this pod out ASAP, and trust us, it’s worth the wait. Whether you were there in the crowd, watching from home, or just love the thrill of eventing, this is Burghley as you’ve never heard it before.

Plug in, press play, and feel like you’re right there on course with Simon.

Riding Through Perimenopause and Beyond

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Jenny and Simon are joined by dressage rider and coach Steph Bradley, whose groundbreaking research into perimenopause and menopause has revealed astonishing results.

Steph shares the heart-breaking stories of women whose riding and lives have been affected by this transition—stories that deserve to be heard. But this is not all heavy. True to Shut Up and Ride style, there are laughs along the way, including a candid (and very funny) chat with Simon about how sore vaginas and other rarely talked-about issues can keep women out of the saddle.

This episode is as honest as it is important: blending compassion, science, and humor to shine a light on a subject that touches countless riders. Whether you’re a rider, coach, or supporter, you’ll come away with greater understanding and maybe even a smile.

Tune in now—because these conversations matter.
