Is this the most expensive sport??

At a young age Emma Booth was lucky enough to win free horse riding lessons for a year and never looked back, putting her heart and soul into the sport.

In 2013 on the way back from a competition Emma's car was hit by a truck on the Melba Highway which caused spinal injury and would change the trajectory of her life but also lead to her representing her country. Emma embarked on a new goal of becoming a Paralympian in time for the 2016 Rio Games travelling all over the world to find the perfect horse, Emma’s long journey of finding the perfect 4 legged partner resulted in a trip ten minutes down the dirt road at home.

Today on track for the Paris 2024 Games, Emma shares the highs and lows participating in the sport not only physically but mentally, the criticism of her sport on social media and the financial investment of her chosen career.
