Faye, had a serious accident when she was 15 and has been in a wheelchair ever since.

She severed the nerves in her right arm and broke her ribs, pelvis, femur and collarbone when she was thrown out of the car in the accident. 

“Life as I knew it was over,” she told the Horse & Hound. “But I want to share my story to show people what’s still possible.”

For the first few years, with many daily struggles, Faye didn’t deal with it very well, until one day she realised that this life is what you make it, and she decided to fight back.

With a can do attitude she decided to breed my own horse and start an adventure of carriage driving trials. Her aim was to drive her horse and compete with him. "Many people have said I can't do it but I am determined to succeed. I have already bred, and started training my Friesian gelding Majestic".

My journey has had many up’s and downs, which has left me determined to share my story in the hopes that it can help to inspire and motivate others, and show that they can do seemingly impossible things if they put their minds to it.

“I have lots of plans and I think that’s how I deal with what’s happened to me, keeping focused and keeping doing things,” she said. We look forward to hearing a lot more about Faye and her horses.
