Show Notes

In this special Shut Up and Ride Podcast Pub Pod episode, we sit down with Olympic event rider Austin O’Connor for what might be our most honest, unfiltered, and hilariously entertaining chat yet — recorded live from the iconic Lygon Arms.

Austin opens up about true horsemanship, shares raw behind-the-scenes moments from his journey in the equestrian world, and gives his candid (and often hilarious) take on everything from training philosophies to pub banter.

And yes — things get interesting when Lucinda Green jumps in to quiz Austin about Burghley, digging into his riding decisions, strategies, and those make-or-break moments on one of eventing’s biggest stages.

Highlights include:

⚠️ Heads-up: this episode contains a bit of swearing — but it’s all part of the magic.

Whether you’re a rider, trainer, eventing fan, or just love a good horse tale, this is one for the books.

Tune in now — it’s equestrian storytelling at its finest.
