Film Transcript

I very often dream I'm running or dancing or flying. I've forgotten what it's like to run. I stay at home, stay in bed and just forget the world, not bother getting up again. People can be very judgmental, so I feel I'm constantly having to prove myself the whole time.

Get bucket, get the bucket. Come, good bucket. Yes, yes, let's go, let's go. Come on.

The other day I went out for, I think, it was a three-and-a-half-hour ride, going up and up over that horizon and way out in the middle of nowhere. In fact, I got a bit lost and had to ask the runners and the walkers, with all their maps, to see where we were. And that's just awesome—just doing that on your horse. Your back just opens you up; you see the world. People can't see your disability — there's no wheelchair and you're galloping around the countryside. They have no idea; they treat you differently.

I was thinking about it last night. There are a lot of things from before the accident I now can't remember, like what it feels like to walk across a beach. What does it feel like—the sand going between your toes? Or what does it feel like to walk in the surf and the waves rushing up your legs and things? I've forgotten. I don't know what that feels like. I can't even imagine what that feels like now.

I had the pleasure to meet Susi several years ago in Lourdes and could not get over the way she danced in her wheelchair. She is a very pleasant person and very beautiful in looks and personality.
