Weasel Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Right now I am one Mighty Happy Mustelid... Ihave just caught up with the update on jockey Maija Vance, who was dreadfully injured last winter in a race fall. BOAYERS donated hundreds of dollars before Xmas last year to help Maija'a rehabilitation. Her spinal cord injuries were so severe doctors told her she was unlikely to ever walk again. Maija Watch this jaw-dropping, inspirational video: and good on all you BOAYERS who helped her when it mattered most. We did good. Take a bow. https://loveracing.nz/News/27781/ComebackKid-MaijaVance.aspx Weasel D: 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in touch with Maija at the end of January and I'm pretty sure she was still in a wheelchair then ... for her to be actually riding a horse again is breathtakingly gutsy. Brilliant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Good stuff. That's filmed at our old property on Popes Rd, Takanini. Didn't know it was still in use. Pretty good stuff. Really didn't look like she'd walk again, let alone ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
