The Sutton Bridge branch of the University of the Third Age (U3A) have a new committee with an impressive guess set to saddle up for their next meeting.
Frank Heinrich-Tiller has been elected as the group’s chairman ahead of the general meeting on Tuesday, October 7 where World and European para dressage champion Emma Sheardown will speak about her experiences in the sport.
Emma was born with a disability, quadriplegic cerebral palsy, and when aged 14 months old doctors predicted that she would never walk or talk.
With the support of her family Emma defied medical predictions and began to walk unaided and she has not looked back since.
During Emma’s teens she went on to become a GB athlete competing in the Paralympic equestrian sport of para dressage, eventually becoming world and European champion.
She has a total of three gold medals, three silver medals and a bronze medal to her name.
The meeting will take place at The Curlew Centre from 2pm.
