RED MILLS Documentary Chapter 3: “They make us want to be better”
February 25, 2026 | Episode Type: RED MILLS Documentary
Across three episodes, this series takes listeners inside Connolly’s Red Mills. From the grain stores of rural Ireland to world championship warm-ups, it follows the journey of a brand built on one idea: better performance through better nutrition.
In this episode, top riders including Tom Rowland, Kirsty Chabert, Alex Bragg, Aoife Clark and Sam Watson step inside the mill to see the process for themselves. They talk about clean sport, confidence in testing, the scale of the operation, and what it means to stand behind the product you feed your horses every day. There are surprises along the way, yes, including camel feed, but the consistent theme is attention to detail and a culture built around solving problems for horse performance.RED MILLS Documentary Chapter 2: Inside the Mill

In Chapter 2 of the documentary series, Nicole Brown steps inside Connolly’s Red Mills to follow the full journey from raw ingredient to finished feed. From seed plants and grain stores to laboratories and production lines, this episode shows how consistency is built long before a product ever leaves the mill. The people behind each stage explain what their roles really mean. Grain is grown with trusted local farmers, tested on arrival, analysed again before release, and tracked through a system designed to remove uncertainty. Technology supports it, but detail drives it. If something does not meet the standard, it does not move forward.Red Mills Documentary Chapter 1: From Bread Bakers to Brand Makers
