Emma Booth - Paralympian
Emma Booth is an Australian Equestrian Paralympian.
Emma previously competed in Eventing (which comprises of Dressage, Cross-Country and Show Jumping), until one evening in 2013 – while travelling home from a competition – was left paralysed after a being involved in a horrific car accident.
Only six months after sustaining the life changing injury, Emma was back in the saddle and learning to ride a horse without the use of her legs; and made her Paralympic debut in Rio de Janeiro in Sept 2016 - only three years after her accident.
The International Paralympic Committee has identified Emma as a rider to watch in 2017.
Inspirational is a word that is often thrown around, but in this conversation Emma's tenacity, belief in the human spirit around her, and her laser-like focus in doing what matters most to you will indeed leave you inspired (if it doesn't you might want to check your pulse).
