Menopause and Riders - Mini Series

from Let’s Talk Horses: The Ultimate Riding Education Podcast · host Meg Parkinson Equestrian Coach of Aligned Equitation

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked reality of perimenopause symptoms and how they show up in the saddle. From changes in balance, confidence dips, brain fog, joint stiffness, disrupted sleep, and shifting emotions - we break down how these physical and hormonal changes can directly affect your riding, your connection with your horse, and your overall wellbeing.Together, we explore why so many riders feel “not quite themselves” during this stage of life, how the nervous system and hormones intertwine, and why it’s not just in your head when your body suddenly reacts differently. You'll learn practical ways to support yourself, adapt your riding, and regain control, confidence, and comfort both on and off the horse.This is the honest conversation riders deserve about perimenopause - empowering, compassionate, and full of insight to help you keep riding strong through every season of change.This is part of my Mini Menopause series aimed at supporting riders through this chapter in life.
