About a year ago, Claire Salter of Marlborough, England thought she may never be able to walk again, let alone spend time in the saddle. During a trip to Texas to ride her horses, the 52 year-old started to not feel well. "I could hardly bear the feel of shoes, let alone be able to put on riding boots, and the feeling of walking anywhere was akin to walking on hot coals," Salter recalled.

'We are so overwhelmed with how people have reached out to us," Larry Spratto expressed to GoHorseShow. "We are at a loss of words. You hear so many negative things online about horse people, and horse showing, but it can't compare to all the positive great horse people that make up the horse show family."
