Shut Up and Ride

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.

SHUT UP AND RIDE

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.
