I understand the jerking and balance issue is due to her condition, but I still feel a bit sorry for the horse. Does anyone know why she didn’t have stirrups? I would have thought that would help her with keeping her legs a bit more steady.

Big networks like to show off the “perfect” athlete not those that really have to work and commit to competing.Way to go to all those that performed in the paralympics.
