para rider Holly on Tito Lipizzan Gelding

I have had the honor of being on the pit crew for a very brave woman named Holly, the day of her dressage test at MRF Dressage in Nottingham. I am truly inspired and impressed by her relentless pursuit of connection and harmony with the horse. She was a rider before the car fire that left her handicapped and she is not allowing that to stop her now!
Her mount is Tito, a very generous powerful Lipizzaner who listens attentively as the two power up to perform their dressage test! He is a great horse, owned and trained by Cyndy West of Bramble Hill Farm in Nottingham NH. The pair train at Carlisle Academy in Lyman Maine.
Here is a great piece of wisdom from Cyndy, "To do great things we must do the little steps day in and day out and never give up." Very true. Thank you Cyndy, Holly and Tito!!
