Double D's Episode 25: The Pineapple Pony & "My Name is Jeff" 🍍🎙️
Episode 25 of Double D’s Live Podcast brought Oonagh O’Brien to the mic for a brilliantly light-hearted, laugh-filled conversation with Muireann. From rescue animals to miniature ponies, sports comebacks to sock-related regrets, this one had everything—and yes, it all somehow made sense in the end.
🐴 Pixie, Peanut & a Wrong Sock in Cork
We started with the absolute joy that is Pixie and Peanut, Oonagh’s miniature rescue ponies who have become stars in their own right. Their personalities are unmatched, and the reactions they get from people at events are pure magic.
Oonagh named her Cork Show outing as her ride of the week—brought slightly down only by an unfortunate sock choice. (Let this be your reminder: even seasoned equestrians can’t win the sock game every time.)
🐶 Rescue Stories & Return to Sport
The chat flowed through rescue dogs, horses, and the unexpected joy of returning to a sport after stepping away. Oonagh shared her perspective on rekindling old passions and how healing and motivating it can be to come back to something with fresh energy and perspective.
This part of the episode struck a chord—so many of us walk away from things we love because of time, life, or circumstance. The real win? Finding your way back.
🙌 Muir’s Ride of the Week: Eileen
Muireann took a moment to highlight someone close to home—her incredible mother-in-law, Eileen.
Over the past two weeks, Eileen received two lifetime achievement awards, and Muireann shared how grateful she is to have someone with such a wealth of experience, wisdom, and quiet brilliance in her life.
A reminder that not all heroes are loud. Some are just steady, kind, and always showing up.
