Description

From riding winners to battling demons, Nathan Horrocks has jumped more fences than most—both literal and metaphorical. The ex-jockey turned award-winning film director opens up about the highs and lows of his life, from abandonment and dyslexia to the relentless pressure of professional racing. He lifts the lid on the brutal reality of the jockey world, his struggle with anorexia, and the dark day he woke up wishing he hadn’t.But then, one horse changed everything.



Nathan shares his extraordinary journey from Yorkshire to Kenya, from heartbreak to healing, and how he ended up living in California, happily married, making films that tell the stories of the animals that saved him.



Oh, and why Good Will Hunting still hits home every time.



A raw, honest, and unexpectedly uplifting episode about resilience, reinvention, and the power of second chances.
