Show Information

Join us to hear Steph Bradley's enlightening research findings on the impact of symptoms of perimenopause and menopause on women riders.

Steph Bradley is a British Equestrian Level 4 Coach & a SMS Master Saddle Fitter. She is currently undertaking a doctoral research programme investigating the impact of the climacteric on female equestrian participation and performance. She recently guested on the popular equestrian podcast Shut up and Ride

Steph's research was undertaken as part of her MSc and British Equestrian Level 4 Coach programme, which resulted in a phenomenal 1629 women equestrians responding within 16 days, and highlighted the common and not so common symptoms that so many women do not know enough about - and could be better prepared for. Especially if they are active equestrians!

"As a coach and a saddle fitter, I was observing a distinct trend of behaviours and issues in women 35 plus, and this made me curious to learn more. The findings were astounding. The research has won three First Prizes at academic conferences concerning Women in Sport."

The afternoon will be an opportunity to raise awareness of this very normal life stage, and hopefully keep more women in the saddle for longer! It’s also relevant for anyone connected to a female equestrian but especially riders themselves, yard owners, vets, physios and coaches. Steph will signpost ideas for support and guidance, and be available to answer any questions afterwards.
