In this video, three-time Paralympian Rebecca Hart shares her life-changing experience as a rider and what it has meant to her to participate as a high-performance athlete at the international level. Hart also explains how other aspiring competitors can use US Equestrian resources to pursue their goals in para-equestrian sport. Muriel Forrest, Executive Director of Wheatland Farm, describes how US Equestrian Centers of Excellence not only promote the physical and mental benefits of horses and therapeutic riding for those individuals affected by a disability, but also how these Centers provide a pathway for athletes who are interested in participating in the sport at the local, national, and international levels of para-equestrian dressage competition. In addition, Head of Para-Equestrian Dressage Coach Development and High-Performance Consultant Michel Assouline outlines the official grading system for para-equestrian dressage and the steps riders should take to prepare for competition.
