Listen "#46 Cambry Nelson - Para-Equestrian Champion"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Cambry Nelson, a champion equestrian vaulter, describes what happened the day she broke her back. “I decided to do my aerial dismount off the horse, but didn’t communicate it to my teammate still on the horse. I flipped, hit him with my leg, changed my rotation in the air and landed on my back. I severed my spinal cord and became permanently paralyzed from the waist down.”
In this podcast we talk about her recovery, (which she describes as ongoing), why it took her so long to feel comfortable on a horse again, dating and marriage as a paraplegic, identity and self worth, occupational therapy, and developing a new product to increase freedom for wheelchair users.
This is a goodie! Check it out.
