  • I take my hat off to these men and women. Its hard enough to do dressage when your a healthy person let alone with a disability. Congratulations to all who went and competed, you are all winners in my eyes.

  • Respect for these riders!!!!

see all

  • Amazing! They are SO dedicated, kudos to them! 

  • @breyer4life Yes, they do/can. :)

    (Personally, I believe cantering is slightly easier without stirrups, it gives you a deeper stance in the saddle if that makes sense...)

  • Wow everytime I see a disabled rider my heart melts. Those who are dedicated will NEVER stop and it just makes you want to continue despite the bad.

  • i think paralypic riders are better than the 'proper' riders. the horses have a more relaxed outline instead of being all crunched up and with hyperflexion, some can complete a test without stirrups and all round it just looks prettier i think :-)

  • do they canter in paralympics? and thank you for posting =) bless them these people

  • you all are so strong, it takes great persistance and a complete patience and understanding, most regular riders cant master this let alone being disabled.

  • what is the song at 1:31 from?

  • The real Champions are the horses! and Trainers! Yee Gads. Amazing!

  • the song for the first rider is from Lord of the Rings!

  • WOW thats one of the many descriptive words i can sayu for this vid and there are some goregeous horses and some of the riders have a gr8 sense of humore lol
