Equestrian vaulting: the horse sport you can start without riding

42:23[laughs] Now it was time to ask Lizzie about her story and what it took to get her to this point.

Lizzie BennettGUEST
I suppose it just takes a long time, and I think looking back 10 years, if I'd s- if someone said to me, "In 10 years' time you'll be able to do all of this," I would've thought, "Oh, God, that's so long and so far away and so impossible." But actually it's all been lots and lots of little tiny, weeny steps of being able to walk to the horse, and then being able to get up onto the horse, and being able to do every single little bit, and working out ways to stand, 'cause I can't feel my legs either.

Lizzie BennettGUEST
So when I stand on the horse, I find it much easier to stand with one or both feet in the handles.

Lizzie BennettGUEST
And even things like going upside down, 'cause obviously the mobility has been a big change.
