Philippa Johnson-Dwyer: The Para Equestrian Rider Who Says 'My Pivot Are My Horses' 🐴❤️

Para equestrian rider Philippa Johnson-Dwyer has been speaking about the life journey she has been on that has given her the Para Equestrian career she has today. In 1998, she was involved in a car accident which left 50% of her body with a form of paralysis. Not only that, the accident caused the death of her fiancé and her brother. She explains that through all the trauma she had been put through, her desire to get back to riding horses was what kept her going. The South African rider has four Paralympic medals to her name - two silvers at Athens 2004 and two golds at Beijing 2008. In 2020, Johnson-Dwyer underwent heart surgery for endocarditis. During testing, doctors discovered that she had cancer. Following her recovery from heart surgery, she had treatment for the cancer and was out of the saddle for seven months, returning two months before the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. She competed at Tokyo 2020 and has competed in the equestrian at Paris 2024 too. Regardless of any setback Johnson-Dwyer has faced, the message from her is: My horses, my pivot.
