Man, oh man, what a triumph it was for us at the Paris Paralympics! We all knew it was going to be an exciting Games for USA Para Dressage, but it ain’t over ’til it’s over. And Becca Hart, Fiona Howard, Roxie Trunnell and Kate Shoemaker came, saw and conquered, and took home a mountain of medals for equestrian sports in Paris.

I made time to watch all the Americans, and as my timing was imperfect, I also ended up seeing a fair bit of the rest of the competition as well. And I made a few notes on things we can learn, as high-performance riders and as able-bodied riders writ large, from their monumental triumph, and from para sport in general.
