26 operations. later i left the hospital and decided to embrace the 2nd chance at life. i was given thanks to the horse i recovered physically and emotionally. and i mean, since then i thought you felt so my live stream of competing at the paralympic games and put my model into practice, which is that limits are only in our head spin as a switched bone power interest, as rider who lives with her 10 year old son noah in panama, and i do like town by the beach and south west spain. as a young girl, losing a leg was a major set back. and after a year of tough therapy, florida met a woman who officer which sounds to write again and pulses became 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
5:18 am
and i'm missing my left leg and i found one day i went when we tried putting a chair on the other side. the truth is that it was a mess for me to get up there, but i didn't, and that's how it all started. and so 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 force 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 staples 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 coming to the power dressers. it's a technical support with a ride that has 5 elements to get the horse to follow the instructions and voice and the 2 arms and legs. even though florida is missing one element, she follows her coaches guidance and manages to accurately control whole stuff on your course, the federal model of the legal or the they're gonna be put into that are coming to
5:19 am
the model. and that's a couple other in the i s a loaner also challenge as a self to practice other sports in which normally the lack of the like would be an obstacle to austin, goes climbing with the friends coming from the line. and 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 grid or could slip. it's kind of a metaphor, right? but you can climb, you're not sure, but you have to trust a little a point in the support, not just the option. 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 the limiting factor is your head, because there are many moments where i'm limited. when i say come on, let's do it, we what we gotta do to put in for like, for example here, i don't have a left that holds, but i'll just go for it in quite a minute. if i follow is that a role that i must land on my right leg? just like when i get off the horse of your mind,
5:20 am
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 program. i have a piece of to be alive, but that's what it is. fractured the 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 is 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 because i'm practically all the material i have is sponsored. and i try 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 the photography helps me a lot, but i do what do you like it? because initially i didn't like it, it scared me and i was very ashamed for my body. but it made me see that there are many types of beauty and i feel pretty and the photos the photos are always well
5:21 am
received. and there are many people who write to me, so they tell me they'd like to do it to whatever embarrassed and either 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 that kind of because i committed a single, i have a place in the society and a mission. and i think it's a very nice purpose to be able to help others. and i love you, i see her without insecurities of other natural beauty or desire to live and i like being able to help him with it. i especially like that strength because she's the mother who's busy all day still asking herself what more 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 time 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 solely the rare, but she loves to. yeah. and then with the sometimes the pressure was too great.

5:23 am
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 with it. this might be the toughest post i've ever shared. 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 it was different that in that and also i disguise myself. thompson, a young lady. i gave you the names and we did little plays with the disguise, done, 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 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 that to show mind they could starting games and intimate and where to place into 2nd. so here it is for all of us left just to share it flow to share the
5:24 am
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 to the weight. other people looked at me, but i can't teach my son, you have to be brave if i don't lead by example. and 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 and get the the time has come. florida isn't madrid with does 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, i'm here all day and you don't sleep much when you get up very early. there's stresses and physical fatigue because i'm also not used to writing the voice twice and one day to prepare everything,
5:25 am
assemble and disassembled twice. i have to clean the material and i'm here from 7 am to 8 pm to i thought of that. these events are also an opportunity for florida to meet and engage with sponsors in madrid. florida meets sandra, who represents the brand she models for an exchange for sponsoring her request stream outfits quicker. more. i wanted to elaborate with her because i loved her story and she's a fighter who 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 or, you 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. i really couldn't compete without sponsors because i don't have the financial means or the possibilities. so this is a project that benefits all of us,
5:26 am
even if they're not here. i might have the best horse and skills, but i can't go up and compete with the name. i don't understand why there are more sponsors 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 wonderful because you see her 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. anyone 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. the judges will score you not only on the exercise itself, but also the accuracy and see, but somebody in a like something to the

5:28 am
because we try to make another type of beta 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. so the means to repair with gold and a message that celebrates the history of each object, emphasizing the fractures instead of hiding them from this gives a new life to the peace transforming it into an object even more beautiful than the original. here we symbolize resurgence as reverse and said 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 read, compose yourself into a more beautiful and stronger being over
