"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 : shutupandridepodcast@gmail.com 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
