"It’s been a long ride for Judi Island who has become an accomplished rider since a motor vehicle accident 16 years ago when she suffered a C-3 spinal cord injury (Incomplete Quadriplegia) that left her paralyzed below the neck.
Told that she would never walk again, she left the hospital in a wheelchair after 12 months and turned to therapeutic riding to improve her strength and mobility.
After six years of commitment, determination and learning how to compensate for her limitations, she qualified for the Canadian Para Equestrian Team with her horse, Gitano, at the local Caledon CADORA shows."
