#Morning memories from staying at my brother's tiny house cabin with out of province friends. We couldn't find the ladder to sleeping loft so they had to climb up & down, using a small table. I woke up to dangling #legs in the morning 😆 #MonochromeMonday #BWphoto

In the mid-2000s, I got my first #GoldMedal at #BCDisabilityGames in #PowellRiver - in intermediate #EnglishRiding #dressage. I went on to obtain bronze, silver & gold medals in regular BC Games - competing against non-disabled #equestrians. I moved up to national competitions & obtained 2 silvers & 1 gold medal. I was approached by Canadian #Paralympics Committee & the international #ParaEquestrian coach, after that. They wanted me to join #TeamCanada. We had 3 different meetings after & it resulted in me pulling out because I couldn't afford to pay for their training program. I was also too old to get funding help & had no one around to help me on that. It was a good life experience, while it lasted. That was when I first learned how expensive it is to pursue higher levels of #parasports competition. Many of us just bowed out, even when we met qualifying markers - because we were too poor to keep at it. You can see my leg braces because jodphurs are tight & grip to everything. #PeopleWithDisabilities #ParaAthletes #ParaEquestrian #Horses #PoleBending #AsianMastodon #DisabledAthletes #BCGames #BeatTheOdds #DisabledWomen #haflinger
