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.
