Paris Olympics: Hong Kong dressage rider Natasha Tse set for fourth Paralympic Games
- The 27-year-old, who first competed at London 2012 when she was 15 and the youngest para-equestrian there, will compete with her horse, Baxo
Dressage rider Natasha Tse Pui-ting has been selected for her fourth consecutive Paralympic Games.
The Hongkonger, who has cerebral palsy from premature birth, first competed at London 2012 when she was 15, and was the youngest para-equestrian to take part.
Now a Paralympic Games veteran, the 27-year-old achieved the minimum eligibility requirement score to qualify for Paris in the individual para dressage, where she will compete alongside her horse, Baxo.
“Participating in the Paralympics was always my dream as an equestrian athlete,” Tse said. “I am so happy to have another chance to compete alongside the top riders in the world.
“It will be a great learning opportunity for me. I have started preparing for the Games, and I hope that Baxo and I will put in a good performance and enjoy the Games.
“I am especially grateful for the nurture and support I received from the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the Equestrian Federation and the Riding for the Disabled Association.”
