The Goat in the Room & Who’s Into Musical Theatre? – Meet the Shut Up and Ride Team

Episode Description:

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Shut Up and Ride Podcast — where horses meet hilarity, and nothing is ever quite what you expect.

In our debut episode, you’ll meet your hosts — Ben Atkinson (liberty trainer), Jenny Rudall (TV presenter)  and Simon Grieve (International Eventer) — as we kick off this unfiltered equestrian adventure. Expect a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and yes… a goat in the room and a surprising love of musical theatre.

We dive into who we are, how this all started, and what you can expect from the ride ahead.
We talk horses (promise), but also the things no one else dares to say. It’s honest, hilarious, and feels just like being in the pub with your mates — if your mates were horse-obsessed and slightly unhinged.

Who are we?
Who’s secretly into show tunes?
What’s the deal with the goat?

This is just the start of something wild, warm, and wonderfully horsey.
