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.

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.
