developed into a gang green due to medical negligence, and my left leg had to be amputated and he's getting christmas 3 months and 26 operations. later i left the hospital and decided to embrace the 2nd chance at life. i was given thanks to the horse. i've recovered physically and emotionally and then since then, i thought to fulfill my live stream of competing at the paralympic games and put my motto into practice, which is that limits are only in our head, the espinoza switched form, power address as rider who lives with her 10 year old son noah in panama, and i did like town by the beach and south west spain. as a young go, losing a leg was a major set back. and after a year of tough to therapy, florida met a woman who officer registrants to write again and pulses became
4:03 am
a key component of her rehab. she told me, well, why don't we try it? i think i told you it would be tricky since you mount the horse from the left side and i'm missing my left leg. and one day i went when we tried putting a chair on the other side of what the truth is, that it was a mess for me to get up there. and that's how it all started. and i decided to help her and she would give me classes. so i cleaned the stables and helped her clean the horses all on one leg because they did not have a prosthesis get out of it. so the 1st year i was always on crutches. it was good because it forced me out of the house and out of my comfort zone, people asked, how are you going to do it on one leg? you can clean stables and horses on one leg and if you really want something, you can do it right now. i get on the horse from the official side wearing my prosthesis. call me the. ringback power address osh, it's a technical support with a ride that has 5 elements to get the holes to follow the instructions and voice and the 2 arms and legs. even though florida is missing, one element see follows. have coaches guidance and manages to accurately control
4:04 am
whole stats on the, on the go to the federal model of the legal or the they're gonna be put in seattle coming to the model. let's look up the i s a florida also challenges itself to practice other sports in which normally the lack of it like would be an obstacle. she often goes climbing with the friends coming from the line. the biggest challenge is my left foot because obviously when i planted, i don't know exactly where it is. i don't know if it has gripped or could slip. it's kind of a matter for right, but you can climb. you're not sure. but you have to trust a little boy. then you have a simple enough to say what if at austin, i leave my left foot dangling in the air as a counter wait. because if i don't have a very secure hold, i'm falling down in the end, which maybe you have to trust a little that you can do it. and then the limiting factor is your head, because there are many moments where i am limited. when i say come on, let's do it, we what we gotta do to quit block, for example here, i don't have
4:05 am
a less that holds, but i'll just go for it in quite a bit. if i saw was that a rogue and i must land on my right leg. just like when i get off the horse, do you have any impact on that? leg is terrible because i have no left joint and it's very unstable. i'm very little is left of the leg regardless, i have a piece of to be alaska, but of what it is fractured with 3 times and it's not suitable for impact. the equestrian spots are expensive to cover equipment costs. florida works as a model and photo shoots responses. at the same time, she has a role model for inclusion and diversity. if it wasn't for these collaborations, i couldn't do what i'm doing because i can't afford it. practically all the material i have is sponsored and i tried to help them in my own way, was by letting them use my image and doing photo sessions. and those concerning the photo. and she's very brave to do many. i realize that photography helps me a lot, but it will do you like it? because initially i didn't like it, it scared me and i was very ashamed of my body. and so,
4:06 am
but it made me see that there are many types of beauty and i feel pretty, and the photos the photos are always well received. and there are many people who write to me. so they tell me they'd like to do it to whatever embarrassed another way or they tell me it's helping us to see it. it's better to be visible rather than stay hidden at home with the attendance across. i can be the thing. i have a place in the society and emission and i think it's a very nice purpose to be able to help others. oh, then i love you. i see her without insecurities with their natural beauty or desire to live and i like being able to help them with it. i especially like that strength because she's the mother who's busy all day still asking herself whitmore, she can do her job. the horse guy just depends on because that's always the problem . when you want to do everything for him, you always want to do everything. sometimes she can't do it and sometimes she's strong. and other times she collapses and says, i can't do it life. and it's rare, but it does happen. well yeah, i mean i'm relying when it's to my there are those moments because we're all human
4:07 am
solely the rare but she loves to. yeah. and then with the sometimes the pressure was too great. florida has a marketing job as a model, a single mother and the top power athletes pursuing qualification to the power olympics and a sports that requires a great deal of commitment. boss as carmen says flora loves so challenge temporarily because i always go with everything. everything was against us. no money, no horse, nothing you know saddles. and here i am competing with a horse with the saddle. so i keep going through not say the other. i trained 6 days a week in the afternoon. i'm with my sons, sort of the house groceries, my online job, 2 hours minimum every day of social networks promoting brands uploading content. i can't give more with the circumstances. i have. i have a son by a job. i have a house and i am alone. other, i'm going to belgium to compete, and my mother is coming over from switzerland to take care of my son for 10 days. i will bring my son along for 10 days, and
4:08 am
a truck is going for the competing is the easiest. it's everything else behind it that's a lot. it's a lot as much. florida helps amputees in an online support group and use a social media to promote the acceptance of different body types. she has waited a long time to share a special video to sign up for that. this might be the toughest post i've ever shared, but i'm sharing the video i made for my son the the okay, so i mean, unknown at a certain age and i realize people were looking at me because i was different that in that and also i disguise myself, thompson and young. i mean, i gave you the names and we did little plays with the disguise stuff and told funny stories that i talked about how people reacted in the same thing. it was a way of getting over that little trauma, but because there was a moment where he felt the tackle and he took it badly that people were looking at me that i said at the moment we might be that the video was 1st made for him. and i've never published it or shown it to anyone as it gets here. we're going to expose ourselves completely and i feel completely naked. it might be more scary for me to show my stuff than to show my naked funding games and the dentist 2nd. so
4:09 am
here it is for all of us left, just to share it. florida says the video, even though it scares the competitive share, and the last thing away, the pain i've recorded this video a few years ago when know i started to realize that i was a different mazda service, that i'm, you know, he saw that through the way other people looked at me, but i can't teach my son, you have to be brave if i don't lead by example. so today i'd be everything for a better, more inclusive and more empathetic world. and i dedicated to my son. thank you for always being so brave and i love you the, the time has come. florida isn't madrid with josh on your own to compete at the 2nd, to full qualifying events for the paralympics competition days, a highly demanding type any you have to deal with fatiguing because as long hours
4:10 am
i'm here all day and you don't sleep much when you get up very early, there's stress and physical fatigue because i'm also not used to writing the voice twice and one day to prepare everything, assemble and disassembled twice. i have to clean the material. now i'm here from 7 am to 8 pm to these events are also an opportunity for florida to meet and engage with sponsors image read floor to meet sandra, who represents the brand she models for an exchange for sponsoring her request stream outfits. click on more. i wanted to elaborate with her because i loved her story and she's a fighter and i contacted brands and asked them if they would be interested and they were fascinated, you know, and they didn't understand why they didn't have any of her questions yet. and when they saw her, they said, go ahead. i mean, we don't use her as a model for people with disabilities. know for us. she's a model underwriter, like any other writer, indian, what people get is that she has had a blow in life and has risen up to it and she has a dream and goes for it. every morning she gets up with that. cool. you're good. okay, bye. think this is a life lesson,
4:11 am
that means that i really couldn't compete with those sponsors because i don't have the financial means or the possibilities. so this is a project that benefits all of us, even if they're not here. i might have the best horse and skills, but i can't go up and compete the name. i don't understand why there are more sponsors there just because if you're a rider, you know how difficult it is. and on top of it, you're missing a leg. i think it's amazing. okay. yeah, i can see what she achieves is really spectacular. and one time because he's here right. and she's much better than a writer with 2 legs and arms in florida, head to the hotel to take a break and review the exercise one last time. and even on a physical level. for me it's complicated because there's a lot of ground to cover for them. these are very large facilities. i usually walk about 20 to 30 kilometers in a competition weekend. now i'll take off my prosthetic legs, rest a little, relax on it, and think about the course i'll compete in that 5 pm. those are the letters that are in the track at each letter you have to do an exercise, and the judges will score you not only on the exercise itself,
4:12 am
but also the accuracy and see, but somebody in a less upkeep of the now florida begins the competition the motor is on that thing and she finishes good. it's a good results, but not enough to secure a place that the paralympics she will have to score higher. the remaining 2 events back home slaughter meets up with cut them in, in the cs or another function to this time the concept is promoting, told her in some acceptance if that was over here today to do a photo session with lucille, the photographer, and carmen. the makeup artist today we have chosen to be and can to guess which is the japanese art. when the, when a ceramic object breaks the pieces that
4:13 am
a good back on and decorated with gold, it symbolizes rebirth. because of something breaks. it doesn't mean that it can't have a 2nd life. it can be even more beautiful through the sessions we do together because we try to make another type of beauty visible. we think it's important for people to feel a little better just because someone has some kind of physical disability or an issue with their body. they can still show it, feel good and do something beautiful. but the, you know, and happiness in japanese can silky means to repair with gold. a method that celebrates the history of each object, emphasizing the fractures, instead of hiding them, we've done this, gets a new life to the piece, transforming it into an object even more beautiful than the original. here we symbolize resurgence as reverse and we want to show the world that there is no one single type of beauty known to be the don't forget that if one day you break, you have the opportunity to re compose yourself into
4:14 am
a more beautiful and stronger being over the, how many platforms can you handle single tenuously without having the feeling that it's just too much you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern because if we do too much, we had it all wrong. we messed things up. risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary,
