    Faye O'Hara - Resilience and the Amazing Character of Friesian Horses

    Faye O'Hara was just a teenager when a terrible car accident left her paralyzed with the use of only her left arm. As an avid rider and horse lover, learning she'd never walk again was devastating, but that was nothing compared to finding out she'd no longer be able to ride or compete with her horses. Faye refused to give up on horses, though. She dreamed BIG and hoped to one day breed and compete with her own Friesian horse. Through sheer tenacity, Faye and her Friesian gelding, Majestic, overcame all the odds and showed those who doubted them that you can do anything if you want it badly enough.
