"Para Equestrian Dressage offers me limitless opportunities on and with the horse. I find it fascinating to see the relationship between human and horse grow and work together towards goals. Horses have no prejudices based on appearance or physical handicaps. They just take people as they are."

"I am a fan of the HKM brand because the quality has convinced me at all times so far. The products are always adapted to the latest needs of the horse and equestrian world."

How it all began

Mara Meyer came to equestrian sport via hippotherapy. The English and media science student has lived with spastic tetraparesis since birth, which manifests itself in a high basic tension in her muscles and a severe impairment of her balance and coordination. For this reason, the then four-year-old began therapy on horseback. Mara quickly fell in love with the graceful four-legged friends and wanted more. So it came about that in 2010 Little Dream, the first pony of her own, moved into the stable and from then on belonged to the family. It was also the bay Welsh pony mare with whom Mara competed in her first competition in regular sport and ventured into para-dressage sport. The biggest competition the pair competed in together was Mara's first German Championship. The horse lover has many role models, including Sir Lee Pearson from England, the most successful para-dressage rider in history.

"Para Equestrian Dressage bietet mir grenzenlose Möglichkeiten auf und mit dem Pferd. Ich finde es faszinierend die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Pferd wachsen zu sehen und gemeinsam auf Ziele hinzuarbeiten. Pferde haben keine Vorurteile aufgrund von Aussehen oder körperlichen Handicaps. Sie nehmen den Menschen einfach, wie er ist."

Wie alles begann

Mara Meyer ist über die Hippotherapie zum Reitsport gekommen. Die Englisch- und Medienwissenschafts-Studentin lebt seit ihrer Geburt mit einer spastischen Tetraparese, was sich in einer hohen Grundspannung ihrer Muskeln und einer starken Beeinträchtigung ihres Gleichgewichts und ihrer Koordination äußert. Aus diesem Grund begann die damals Vierjährige eine Therapie zu Pferd. Schnell verliebte sich Mara in die anmutigen Vierbeiner und wollte mehr. So kam es, dass 2010 mit Little Dream das erste eigene Pony in den Stall einzog und fortan zur Familie gehörte. Es war auch die braune Welsh-Ponystute, mit der Mara die ersten Turnierprüfungen im Regelsport bestritt und den Einstieg in den Para-Dressursport wagte. Die größte Prüfung, die das Paar gemeinsam bestritt, war Maras erste Deutsche Meisterschaft. Vorbilder hat die Pferdeliebhaberin viele, unter anderem Sir Lee Pearson aus England, erfolgreichster Paradressurreiter der Geschichte.
