Horses, Hauntings & Highly Questionable Outfits

The Band Is Back Together… and Absolutely Nothing Is Off Limits!

Ben, Jenny and Simon are FINALLY back together, and as you can imagine, absolute chaos ensues!

This week, we’ve got a bit of everything. From the downright ridiculous to the surprisingly emotional, it’s a classic Shut Up and Ride episode.

We tackle one of the hardest decisions any horse owner will ever face — saying goodbye to your best friend. How do you know when it's time? What are the practicalities of having your horse put to sleep? And should you be there at the end? Is there even a right answer? It's an honest, heartfelt conversation about something we all dread but inevitably have to face.

But don't worry, things don't stay serious for long…

We somehow end up discussing what we'd do if we came back to haunt each other (and trust us, nobody is safe!).

Of course, What's Annoyed You This Week? is back, with plenty to get off our chests.

And perhaps most importantly… WHY has Ben been wearing a pink leotard?!
