The Unofficial Badminton Recap

This week on the Shut Up & Ride podcast, Simon, Ben, and Jenny unpack all the drama, chaos, and unforgettable moments from this year’s Badminton Horse Trials. From Simon questioning whether the grassroots course was secretly a five-star track, to Ben surviving his very first Badminton experience (while accidentally causing absolute mayhem on the cross-country course), there’s plenty of laughter and behind-the-scenes stories from one of the biggest events in the equestrian calendar. Jenny is back on presenting duties and quickly discovers that apparently anyone with a microphone and a blazer gets mistaken for Clare Balding. Add in eventing gossip, memorable fan encounters, and a few questionable decisions along the way, and you’ve got an episode full of classic Badminton madness. Whether you were there in person or watching from home, this is your unofficial debrief from a weekend at Badminton Horse Trials you definitely won’t forget.
