This website is dedicated to my daughter Monica. She was born with a life-threatening neural tube defect, called an occipital encephalocele. This encephalocele contained a substantial portion of her brain. We were given a dire prognosis for our newborn. Two days after birth, on Christmas Eve, Monica underwent surgery. After 6 hours, we were given the news - Monica survived the brain surgery - our own Christmas miracle!

Monica is now 22 years old. She had multiple disabilities (cortical blindness, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and a seizure disorder.) Despite these disabilities, she is a healthy young woman who is rarely ill. She has tremendous motivation and continues to learn and enjoy life. Monica is a delight and inspiration.

PARA-EQUESTRIAN Equestrian sports for elite athletes with disabilities worldwide - Home - Dressage competitions for riders with disabilities started in Scandinavia and in Great Britain in the 1970s. In 1987 the first dressage World Championship was held in Sweden, and we first took part in the Paralympic Games in 1996. Para Equestrian Driving is a World Championship Sport. In 1991, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) appointed IPEC (the International Paralympic Equestrian Committee) to run competitions and develop equestrian sport all over the world. This has been done very successfully, and in 2005 we had some 38 nations from five continents competing. IPEC has now joined the FEI as Para Equestrian, their 8th discipline, moving governance from a general sports organisation (IPC) to one specialising in equestrian sport (FEI)., About PARA-EQUESTRIAN(formerly known as IPEC) Dressage competitions for" meta name="keywords" content="Para-Equestrian, Competition, competition, para, equestrian, Dreassage, dressage, Paralympic Games, paralympic, games, paralympics, Paralympics, Championships ---
