Shut Up and Ride

• Calling It Out: The Whip, the Welfare & the WTF

  The One With Simon’s Assets, Ben’s Funeral Fiasco & That Heath Ryan Video Shut Up & Ride  The gang's back together! Ben, Simon, and Jenny reunite in this packed episode full of honesty, humour, and heart. We kick off with Simon’s, er, assets making a surprise appearance (you’ll never look at a pair of breeches the same again), before diving into Ben’s emotional goodbye to his grandparents—and how their funeral somehow turned into a full episode of The Vicar of Dibley. Then things get serious as we discuss the controversial video of Heath Ryan whipping a horse. We don’t hold back, and we openly invite Heath to join us on the pod to talk, listen, and—hopefully—help drive change for the welfare of our horses. Finally, Jenny opens up about her personal experience with perimenopause: the brain fog, the emotional rollercoaster, and why more women in our sport need to feel seen and heard. This episode is a rollercoaster—raw, ridiculous, and real. Saddle up.  TOUR COMING SOON 16th and 17th of Jan 2026  CONTACT US : [email protected] FOLLOW US : Instagram This Podcast is sponsored by Charles Owen - https://www.charlesowen.com

• Michael Duffy - "Shut up and get on with it"

  In this episode, Jenny Rudall and Simey Grieve welcome the brilliant (and at times hilarious) Michael Duffy, international show jumper and all-round good sport. From growing up in a horsey household to navigating the competitive show jumping circuit, Michael takes us behind the scenes of his life in the ring—and out of it. They chat about everything from natural talent vs hard work, mental resilience, and the evolution of riding styles, to the commercialisation of the sport and what the future might hold. But it’s not all serious—Michael’s sharp wit shines through, especially in a brilliantly relatable “What’s Annoyed You This Week” segment that will have horsey listeners nodding (and laughing) in agreement. Honest, insightful, and properly funny—this is one you don’t want to miss.

• "Grief needs to be embraced...but it f**king sucks"

  Nashville Nightmares, Eventing Ethics & the Weight of Loss In this week’s episode of Shut Up and Ride, Simon and Jenny sit down for a candid catch-up that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. Jenny spills the tea on her outrageous escapades in Nashville – from questionable karaoke to cowboy boot blisters – and Simon can barely keep it together. But it’s not all laughs. The duo tackles a controversial topic in the equestrian world: when riders experience near-disasters in eventing, should they be allowed to carry on? They dig into the tough questions around rider responsibility, safety, and the ongoing conversation about horse welfare. Finally, they reflect on something deeper – the grief of losing horses and people we love, and how those losses shape us both in and out of the saddle. An episode full of laughs, thought-provoking debate, and honest emotion – don’t miss it.   CONTACT US : [email protected] FOLLOW US : Instagram This Podcast is sponsored by Charles Owen - https://www.charlesowen.com/ Advertisers in this Ep are  https://www.streamz-global.com/   Discount Code SHUTUP10 SHUT UP AND RIDE
