“My memory of the whole experience was incredi- ble-knowing that I was com- peting for Canada,” said Schloss. “I started riding when I was 11, but after my accident, I started therapeutic riding at age 25, and it contin- ued my love for horses.” “I definitely want to compete at the Paralympic Games again,” continued Schloss. “It has always been my goal to help people, so if I can inspire people to feel good about themselves that is great.”

She rode a lovely Freestyle and her horse was just incredible.”
