About

Behind the Saddle is a community-driven media channel and podcast dedicated to uncovering the untold stories within horse racing and the wider equestrian world. We shine a spotlight on the incredible individuals who make the industry run — the stable staff, trainers, physios, vets, instructors, clippers, and many others whose work often goes unseen but is vital to the wellbeing of horses and the success of the sport.

Our mission is to educate, inspire, and give long-overdue recognition to these unsung heroes while supporting local riding schools and equestrian organisations across the UK. Whether you’re deeply involved in the horse world or simply passionate about the stories behind it, Behind the Saddle brings you closer to the people, passion, and dedication that drive the industry.

We also explore the professional side of racing, travelling up and down racecourses across the country to interview rising jockeys, race-day staff, and countless individuals whose contributions deserve to be heard. Behind the Saddle gives them a platform to share their journeys, experiences, and the reality of life behind the scenes.
