Galloping to the Games! 🐴 Para equestrian rider Katja Karjalainen 🇫🇮 is still going strong at 61. The Paralympic🥈medallist refuses to let a physical or vision impairment stop her from charging for a medal at her fifth #Paralympics with a new horse.🐴 Listening while riding, Karjalainen uses a ‘caller’ who shouts letters of different parts of the dressage court during her routine, guiding her to the right positions. “When I start my routine I can’t even see my caller at first as she is standing 20 metres away from my starting point. It takes a while before I get a sight of her.” “It has been such a great journey. I have always given everything I got and have always been willing to learn something new.” “Winning a medal in Paris would be a beautiful crown to my long career.” The video footage is Karjalainen competing at the Paralympics in Tokyo, with her caller and her horse Dr Doolittle.
