Red Mills Special: Joseph Murphy & the build to Badminton

Badminton is around the corner, and for Joseph Murphy, it feels personal.

Nicole Brown sits down with one of Ireland's most experienced championship riders to talk about Belline Fighting Spirit, going back to Badminton with unfinished business, and the mindset shifts that have shaped the last few years of his career. From rider mistakes and hard lessons, to equalling his best ever five-star dressage score at Burghley, Joseph opens up about what it really takes to keep evolving at the top of the sport.

The conversation goes far beyond one horse or one event. Joseph reflects on missing championships, losing confidence, rebuilding his system, and why sometimes the next day really can change everything. From hunting fields and point-to-points, to building businesses outside the sport, this is an honest conversation about longevity, resilience, and staying hungry at the top level.
