Well 2012 is nearly over - it's hard to believe but
I am thrilled at how the Olympic and Paralympic spirit is still held so firmly in everyone's hearts! I have to admit I had a few knock downs after the Games when a couple of people questioned - "if you knew realistically you would not get a medal - why did you go to all that effort to get there?" I can only assume they weren't in London this past summer to witness the incredible spectacles, the fantastic atmosphere and the wonderful sport we all enjoyed so much! And besides what ever happened to the mantra - its not the winning that matters but the taking part ??? But it did rock my confidence - wondering if that was everyone's perspective of my appearance in London. Thankfully it appears not and I continue to be so totally amazed that I was privileged enough to be able to take part! I recently read that the GB equestrian teams will have nearly £22M in funding in the run up to Rio 2016... I realise I am only a small fish in a big sea - but it is all relative and my journey to London and now hopefully on to WEG 2014 - and even to Rio if we are lucky - means as much to me and my family, loyal friends, sponsors and supporters as anyone who is part of a big budget team for sure!
Happy New Year to you all !!
