Oriel's jumping confidence has taken a hit, Marissa's horse Shiloh is having her opinionated mare moments, and somehow we've ended up talking about yoga. Yep, yoga.

This week on The Mounting Block, we're joined by the fabulous Megsy (Megan Brock), a yoga devotee of 25 years, who's on a mission to convince Marissa that downward dog isn't actually a form of torture.

And let's just say Megsy's first-ever yoga experience is NOT what we were expecting. Apparently, yoga can be a lot more pleasurable than Marissa realised!

But beneath the laughs, there's a genuinely fascinating conversation about what yoga can offer women in their 40s, 50s and beyond. We're talking strength, flexibility, menopause, body confidence, mental resilience and learning to breathe through life's uncomfortable moments, whether that's holding a yoga pose, navigating midlife or sitting on a horse that's decided to lose the plot.

We also unpack Oriel's rather eventful first showjumping competition with Laney, who clearly didn't get the memo about the jumps being only 30cm, and why sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take the pressure off and start enjoying the ride again.

It's funny, frank and surprisingly enlightening. And by the end, even our resident yoga sceptic might be ready to roll out a mat.

Because whether it's horses, yoga or life after 40, sometimes you've just got to breathe, back yourself and enjoy the ride.

Saddle up, settle in and join us for another episode of The Mounting Block.
