Meet Joanne

I’m Joanne Prescott, a menopausal rider, coach and PhD researcher studying how menopause affects equestrian performance.

My research explores the physical and psychological changes riders may experience, including changes in balance, confidence, strength, fatigue and recovery.

I created The Menopausal Equestrian to turn research into practical, evidence-based support that helps women understand their changing bodies, adapt their riding and remain connected to the sport they love.
