Watching An Equestrian Paralympian's Struggles

Date: 9/8/2024

I was at the Paris Paralympics. There was an Equestrian event going on. This disabled woman was trying to climb into the saddle on her horse. I'm not sure what her disability was supposed to be. She was struggling to get on, and the horse was reacting badly towards her efforts. Suddenly the woman knocked over a steel container next to the horse, which made a loud bang. This spooked the horse, and it ran off. I followed the woman and this man who was with her, who I guess must have been a part of Team GB. I watched as she kept trying to climb into the saddle, and the horse kept bucking and rearing before she could get on safely. Eventually, she gave up and herself and the man who was with her concluded that they wouldn't be able to compete. I followed them back to the arena, and said to the horse that I could understand why the noise had unsettled him. I spoke to my parents afterwards, who found it strange how the horse never seemed happy to let the woman on, even before the container fell. They thought the man who was with her had seemed quite impatient with both the woman and the horse too.
