Socialstock wishes Sophie all the best with the training and hopefully we will see some more medals next September in London. Good luck Sophie.

Here's Ron's and Sophie's story so far
I first met Sophie in 2009. I got to know her through her dad, Karl, head of
humanities at The American School in England (TASSIS) where I was a guest
lecturer and had and exhibition of my work in late 2006.
Sophie was born two months prematurely with cerebral palsy. She recovered
and started riding aged six as a form of physiotherapy and has gone on to
become a top horsewoman.
Sophie won 2 golds and a silver medal at the Beijing Paralympics games in
2008. At the 2009 European Championships she won individual gold and silver
medals as well as a team gold. At the 2010 World Championships in Kentucky,
she won 2 golds and silver.
I will be documenting Sophie's build up to the London Olympics, with the
view of producing a body of work for an exhibition and book.
