TOKYO HORSE
She plans to ride Leeds, which she bred herself at her stud farm in Hundborg, Norway, at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. "Leeds is a new horse, so of course I want to do well with him. I'm hoping to place at the top five [at the 2020 Games], because I know there are Paralympic medallists [competing in her event]. They're riding more experienced horses. But on a good day, it can easily go my way, so you never know what can happen." (tv2nord.dk, 23 Jun 2021; zibrasportequest.com, 23 May 2021)
