beating on horseback, that's on sports slice off the rest are great. i'm number such as well for me in the entire new stream behind the scenes. thank you so much for being with us. the . the untold story for details. going to be funded here. repos every weekend on d w. i mean, i know i right just do it and i'm hosting dw new podcasts. thanks. trace amount, but there's no actually about joining us as we travel around your facing the
6:16 am
history of every day of that. and that's something right around the world, but i need to talk to that. just a subscriber id. listen to papa, and we'll take you along to the right. the 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. christmas 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 live stream of competing at the paralympic games and put my model into practice, which is that limits are in the,
6:17 am
in our head spin as a switched phone power addressed 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 and i'm missing my left leg. and 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
6:18 am
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. call me the. ringback power dressers, 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, she follows that 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 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 it like would be an obstacle to often goes climbing with the friends, comment on the line, the biggest challenges my left foot to be is obviously one i planted. i don't know
6:19 am
exactly where it is, so 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 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 left that holds, but i'll just go for it in quite a minute. if i thought was that a role that 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 because 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 her equipment costs. florida works as a model and photo shoots responses. at the same time, she is
6:20 am
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 try to help them in my own way, was by letting them use my image and doing photo sessions and nursing center, the portal. 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 and the photos december, 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 that kind of blue cross. i can move the thing off. i have a place in the society, an admission, and i think it's a very nice purpose to be able to help others. and i love it. i see her without in
6:21 am
securities of other natural beauty or desire to live. and i like being able to help her with it. 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 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 relies, it's to, there are those moments because we're all human. the suddenly the rare, but she loves to. yeah. and then with the long for 10 days in a truck, it completely competing is 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, video pace in front of me at
6:22 am
a certain age. and i realize people were looking at me because i was different that and that's 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 react to it. and the same thing. it was a way of getting over that little trauma. but because there was a moment where he felt the 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. okay. and then a minute and where to put into 2nd. so here it is. all that's left is to share it. florida says the video, even though it scares a competitive share another can look at 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 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'd be everything for
6:23 am
a better and 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 us on your own to compete at the 2nd, the full qualifying events for the power olympics, competition, days of highly demanding that he doesn't have to deal with the cheese. and because of the 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 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 a better that these events 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 in
6:24 am
the 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, 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. and so yeah, 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 and skills, but i can't go up and compete with the name. i don't understand why there aren't more responses or just let because if you're a rider, 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
6:25 am
. and one time because he's here right, and she's much better than a writer with 2 legs and arms. florida headed 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 leg, 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 color at each letter. you have to do an exercise and the judges will score you not only on the exercise itself, but also the accuracy and see, but some of them, a less upkeep of the now flow and it begins the competition. the
6:26 am
other thing and 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 let's see for another photo shoot. this time the concept is promoting toner inside the acceptance. it's almost like we're here today to do a photo session with lucille, the photographer, and carmen. the makeup artist. today we have chosen it beam can to be is, which is a japanese art. when the, when a ceramic object breaks the pieces that are good 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 data 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,
6:27 am
and happiness in japanese can. so he means to prepare with gold and a message that celebrates the history of each object, emphasizing the fractures. instead of hiding them from this gets a new life to the piece, transforming it into an object, even more beautiful than the original. here we symbolize resurgence in reverse and then 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 and they were brought together by chance and they roots in the early nineties on
