LAURENTIA TAN (SIN) - 2008 Paralympic double bronze medalist in the Grade 1A category

“ For me, riding a horse gives me the freedom; the movements and energy that my own legs cannot do!   It has helped my mobility, my co-ordination and given me confidence in myself.  It has also taught me a lot about life; about teamwork, partnership, trust, and also that hard work can be rewarding. Our greatest glory is not in never failing; but in rising every time we fall”, as Confucius once said; and behind every success is a team of many individuals working together.  It is not about the horse or the rider alone, nor is it just about how the horse and rider perform together as one, but also the people working with them and supporting them.”
