Was watching the Olympics hopefuls on t.v last night, and paralympic dressage rider Lee Pearson was talking about hopefully coming home with a gold medal, and WOW what an inspirational guy to watch, he was saying that his new horse who he has only had for 4 months was coming along lovely, but not without the ups and Downs, as sponsorship dropping out and having to come up with other ways to fund his passion to ride and to keep his grooms, as without them he can not ride, even asking Katie price aka Jordan if she wants dressage lessons!! I thought Lee Pearson was very inspirational to watch and put me to shame to see what he had achieved in 4 months, with his horse. Any one else watch this last night??
 
What a guy!! I was glued to the telly- I wish they had shown more about his training methods. I do hope he gets his sponsorship sorted out- he deserves it more than most sportsmen/women.
 
He was totally inspiring as were they all really. I am surprised that he cannot find sponsors as he came over as such a nice guy , and I would have thought if anyone deserved it then he did.

Fingers crossed he has a fab time out there.
 
I saw that and was also inspired. The man does most of the training himself, too. Loved the bit where he was zooming after Gentlemen in his motorised chair in the school! Shows you that anything can be achieved when you put your mind to it. I didn't realised his disabilities were so bad, either!
