Balanced Transition is the driving force behind Mareopause, the Facebook Group for equestrians who are navigating menopause, peri-menopause, post-menopause, or simply curious about how hormonal changes can affect riding, confidence, energy, and life with horses.
Menopause can feel confusing, isolating, and unpredictable, and can rob us of our joy of riding and horses. The group was set up to share understanding, lived experience, and practical support so equestrians can make informed changes and keep the joy in riding and owning a horse at every stage.

Balanced Transition coaching also runs equestrian only versions of their coaching programmes. The coaching focuses on the lifestyle factors that will support you through the menopausal transition in a balanced way. It will give you the insights you need to stay strong, capable and confident for a lifetime with horses. It will help you quieten that voice that says your too old to ride or keep your horse. It will empower you to keep doing the thing you love most – enjoying your horse.

Horses have shaped my life from the very beginning. I grew up riding, came through Pony Club, gained my BHSAI, and later trained as a lecturer in Equine Studies, with placements at Hartpury College.
Like many equestrians, my path hasn’t followed a straight line. For a time, horses sat in the background of work and life rather than at the centre — until they returned in a much deeper way. Becoming the guardian of Freddie, my own fire horse, sharpened my awareness of something many riders come to realise in midlife: if we want to ride our heart horses well for their lifetime, we need to stay well for ours.
That lived equestrian experience now sits alongside my work in human health, wellbeing, midlife and menopause. Through Balanced Transition, I support riders and equestrian professionals to stay strong, confident and capable through the physical, emotional and life changes that come with a lifetime of riding.
