The story below is one of the most inspiring stories; it reminds us that no matter what, we should always found a possible way how to make our dreams reality. The rider below was born with dwarfism, however, she has a really clear objective that she wants to achieve in the future; she is fulfilling her dream of becoming a professional horse rider and says it has helped her accept her disability.
Megan Gregory, from Croydon, was born with Achondroplasia – a type of dwarfism that affects the growth of arms and other long bones. In addition to this, Megan has a frontal bossing on the top of her head and ‘trident’ hands, meaning they all measure to the same size.
The 19-year-old spent her school years being bullied but after taking up horse riding and started to compete two years ago, she has a new-found confidence. Megan lives a normal life despite her disability, admitting she has “always liked a challenge”.
She is constantly working really hard. Although the disability that she was born with makes it more challenging for her to fulfill her dream, she is not planning to give up really soon. Way to go Megan Gregory.
