Sophie Christiansen is an amazing athlete. Cerebral Palsy makes it difficult for her to control her muscles and it affects her speech but she is fiercely competitive. Before riding, Sophie competed in wheelchair half marathons. As a member of the GB Para squad, she's been a prolific medal winner at two Olympics and numerous Championships. Sophie is studying maths at university so she "can get a decent job" she tells Fiona Price. In 2009 (age 21) Sophie was awarded an MBE. We watch Sophie's test and feedback, and find out about the challenges of competing in walk. Sophie entertains Fiona and Lambrusco in her interview afterwards

I just saw the video! I've never ridden a horse, so i can´t say much about it, but i bet it looks easier than it is. Some physical therapists say it would help me improving my balance, still i keep skipping that... Hey the horse wanted to be the number one star in the video!! eeheh

Keep on girl!
