find out best document trees on you to see the world, the subscribe. know to dw documentary safe. i am floating on you and at the age of 21, i had a motorcycle accident. ok, but it's what had appeared to be a simple to be a in february fracture developed into gang green due to medical negligence. and my left leg had to be amputated and these kids christmas is 3 months and $26.00 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 since then,

i fought to fulfill my life's dream of competing at the paralympic games and put my model into practice, which is that limit you are only in our head, the espinoza, swish born pirate yourselves 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 after a year of tough therapy, florida met a woman who offer the rich aunts 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 and i'm missing my left leg. and one day i went when we tried putting a chair on the other side of 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 grandmother. 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 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. call me the power address. ours is 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 that coaches guidance and managers to accurately control whole stuff on your own. go to the romano, kind of the legal or the they're gonna be put into that will come in the model. the i s a floater also challenge as a self to practice other sports in which normally the lack of it like would be an obstacle to often goes climbing without friends comment when

a line of the biggest challenges my left foot did. because obviously when i planted, i don't know exactly where it is, so i don't know if it has some 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 boy. then you have a subordinate the, then 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 means 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 am 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 less that holds, but i'll just go for it. and if i follow is that a role and i must land on my right leg. just like when i get off the horse, 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 alive. yeah. 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 in 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 it. i'm doing that 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 for my body. but it made me see that there are many types of beauty and i feel pretty in 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 embarrass for me some more. they tell me it's helping us to see it. it's better to be visible rather than stay hidden at home. okay. attendance across a commitment thing. oh, i have a place in the society and emission and i think it's

a very nice purpose to be able to help others love you. i see her without insecurities with their natural beauty or desire to live and i like being able to help them and i especially like that strength because she's the mother who's busy all day still asking yourself 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. so really, 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 nice and it's rare, but it does have to look at that. i mean, on the line when it's to my, there are those moments because we're all human. some we both are 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 a top power athletes pursuing qualification to the power olympics and a sports that requires a great deal of commitment. boss as carmen says, florida loves the challenge temporarily. i always go with everything. everything

was against us. no money, no horse, nothing you know saddles. and here i am competing with the horse with the saddle. so i keep going through and obviously the other. see if i trade 6 days a week in the afternoon, i'm with my son, so that 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, a job, i have a house and i am alone. so then 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 in a truck and put 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. so you wait is 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's video pace in front of me at

a certain age. and i realize people were looking at me because i was different that in that and also i disguise myself down to the young lady. i gave you the names and we did little plays with the disguise, stones and told funny stories that i talked about how people reacted to the same thing either because it was a way of getting over that little trauma. but because there was a moment where he felt to tackle around, he took it badly that people were looking at me that i said at the moment we might see that video was 1st made for him. right. 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 my naked body. ok and get a minute and you're going to put, you know, and to say i could. so here it is. all that's left just to share it. florida says the video even though it scares a competitive share, know to come look at the last thing away. the pain could i wish to really, i've recorded this video a few years ago when know i started to realize that i was a different mazda service, that i knew that 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 bare everything for a better, more inclusive and warm, pathetic world. and i dedicated to my son. thank you for always being so brave and i love you. the, the time has come, florida is in madrid with doubts on your own to compete at the 2nd, the full qualifying events for the power olympics, competition days, a highly demanding type any you have to deal with fatigue because as long hours i'm here all day and you don't sleep much and when you get up very early, there's stress and physical fatigue because i'm also not used to writing the horse twice in 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 athletics. 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. how request 3 and outfits quicker more. i wanted to collaborate with her because i love her story and she's a fighter. i contacted brands and asked them if they would be interested at the time. they were fascinated, you know, and they didn't understand why they didn't have any pair of 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 in the end, 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. i think this is a life lesson. 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. if they're not here, i might have the best horse in skills, but i can't go up and compete with the name. i don't understand why there aren't more responses or just what? because if you're a writer, you know how difficult it is, depend on top of it, you're missing a leg. i think it's amazing. okay. yep. and 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. florida hits 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, and if the judges will score you, not only on the exercise itself, but also the accuracy and see, but some in a less of the now slaughter begins. the competition, the

motor is gone. i've been young, she finishes good. it's a good results, but not enough to secure a place at the paralympics. she will have to score higher. the remaining 2 events back home florida meets up with carmen. and lets see for another photo shoot. this time the concept is promoting, told her in some acceptance. if i was over here today to do a photo session with you see the photographer and carmen, the makeup artist. today we have chosen at the in can to guess which is a japanese art. when the, when a ceramic object breaks the pieces that are glued back on and decorated with gold, it symbolizes rebirth. because if 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 beta visible when 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 be means to prepare with gold. a method that celebrates the history of each object, emphasizing the fractures, instead of hiding them from this gives a new life to the piece, transforming it into an object even more beautiful than the original. here we symbolize resurgence as reverse and i 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 re compose yourself into a more beautiful and stronger being the
