Emma Hindle - cancer op. six weeks ago

[Halfstep]

This makes her achievement even more amazing

"After the competition had finished, Hindle revealed she has not had the best of preparations for the Games: “Six weeks ago I had a major operation [for ovarian cancer], so to finish so high in the placings is extra special.”

Emma, you are incredible.

WOW

 

[dieseldog]

That is amazing. Vibes that the operation worked.

 

[scotsmare]

Brave girl, hope she's ok.

 

[kerilli]

Good lord. She goes even higher in my estimation. I think she, and a few of the other riders, were robbed today tbh.

 

[BBs]

To be riding again in 6 wks is an acheivement, to come 7th at the Olympics even better.

What a fantastic role model she is.....

I heard that in the dressage highlights last night. What an amazing achievement. She's up there with Mary King in my admiration list, now. Well done, Emma!

 

[Halfstep]

On Eurodressage she is quoted as saying that when she got to HK she could only ride in walk.

Amazing achievement. I just hope she's ok and they got it in time.

 

[hellspells]

That is so incredible - what a achievement.

 

[Kenzo]

That is really fantastic, paired with her strength and determination, it also goes to show that horses are indeed healers, a tonic and they keep you going even through the bad times.

Wot an accomplishment! To so nearly be the highest placed Brit in dressage history six weeks after a cancer op, where wuld she ave been if she hadnt of gone through this? 3rd? 4th?

Emma has been a joy to watch throughout the whole competition. Balanced, elegant, and harmonious. I feel she was harshly marked in the Special, particularly having Mythilus (US) and a couple of others higher with not such correct tests.

Incredible!! hats off to her!

 

[volatis]

She is an incredible inspiration to any rider or sportsman. be nice if she knew how much we have all been rooting for her

I think she had an ovarian cyst, that is not ovarian cancer. It is quite different, lots of women get ovarian cysts.

 

[Pinkwellies2]

Very true, but not all of them get back on a horse and compete in the Olympics 6 weeks late. The fact it is not cancer doesn't take anything away from her acheivement.

 

[jesterfaerie]

My word she is amazing!
What an incrediable achievement, very brave girl!

I think it was a cyst about 8cm, well done her she did so well i had the same op mine was abit bigger 10x11x8 and it took me ages to get right, she wants gold for her achievment.
