Living with SCI, we become versatile in our plans and how access and do what some AB's take for granted. We become creative in finding ways to enjoy the life that we wanted, expected and hoped to live..or we allow restrictions to rule our life.
One year ago I won my medical negligence case against my doctor and this afforded me to be able to stretch my thoughts further to what I would like to do in the future in regards to employment. Keeping our mind busy and our bodies active is paramount for our wellbeing alone so with this in mind I decided to set up a business transporting horses across country.
Horses have long been my passion since being a child and was my hobby before my SCI so it seemed natural to focus on a business that would encompass my love of horses this way. I am a pretty astute business woman too so I felt this would work.
Since January, after we had completed and satisfied all the licencing etc, the company began transporting and I love it. I love visiting the different parts of the country and meeting different people and of course spending time with horses in the process. I have a driver who handles the horses although I often help load, on crutches but I tend to navigate and organise the business and submit the quotes for jobs.
The only thing that I need to be better organised with is my bladder maintenance because the lack of being able to predict road accidents and traffic congestion cost me a pretty annoying UTI for 3 weeks!
Dare I say it is a small price to pay for the satisfaction I get from this work, although I do realize that I must learn from this and prepare better in the future. Here is a pic of one of our clients! On camera in the horsebox
