Post '2012' blues

I am not really sure where to start... I don't need to tell you that competing in the Paralympics was just the most tremendous experience and lots has been already documented.  But also to be the first paralympic competitor for the Virgin Islands was a huge honour!  Rhapsody and I were a new partnership  - 3 months is no time to get to know each other but we were all determined to do the best we could! It was a luxury and a privilege for me to be able to devote every day to riding and training with Andrew J Murphy - to have the services of my vet Stephen Brooks on tap as well as those of Gill Maybury chiropractor  - not to mention my "groom" - good friend Catherine Heilbron - also assistance from Judy Lord and last but not least Regine Fitzner who flew out from the VI to be Chef de Mission.  Unlike the other nations with their large professional backup,  my team consisted of friends all donating their time and services for free in the aim of getting me and Rhapsody into that fantastic arena in Greenwich!
There were a lot of laughs and tears along the way and the results are public knowledge but the totally absorbing feeling that we all felt while in London during those crazy couple of weeks will last with us forever. All the positive publicity about the Games was never over estimated - the 'feel good' factor went totally off the radar!! You can't blame me for not wanting the magic to end!
