What is the difference between being a Para-equestrian dressage rider and an able-bodied dressage rider?
Dressage is dressage. The Para Dressage is just at a lower technical level, and there are five separate categories depending on your disability. I’ve won against able-bodied riders too. The only adaptation I have is my saddle, which is a slightly different shape to suit my legs. There is no rule to say that I couldn’t enter the Olympics. I have the talent, but unless someone is prepared to sponsor me millions for an Olympic-standard horse, its not going to happen.
