  • Love it!

    Shut Up and Ride is a fabulous podcast. It has had me in tears and laughing out loud in the same

    Episode. I honestly feel I am chatting in the yard with Jen, Ben and Simey whilst

    mucking out and doing my job. Looking forward to meeting you guys at The Unicorn Centre for the Shut Up and Ride tour!

  • Brilliant!

    I love the way they have done this- feels just like having a chat at the yard with friends (except these three are legitimate experts!) the only problem is that there aren’t enough episodes!

An Australian Fireman Holding a Kitten?!
Q: What annoyed you this week?
I kind of want to pull them off the horse pony whenever it may be and say, do you not realize how unbelievably lucky you are to be able to do this?
An Australian Fireman Holding a Kitten?!
Q: Can you give your best advice on buying your first competition horse?
I would be getting somebody that knows what they're talking about. I'd be getting somebody that is good with confirmation, has experience, is knowledgeable, that can go with you to look.
An Australian Fireman Holding a Kitten?!
Q: What's your favorite thing to do when you're alone on the yard and no one else is about?
Probably TikTok dances. I haven't done any for ages, but quite a lot of the ones that are on my TikTok are ones that I've done when I've been the first one in the yard and there's no one around.
