Determined rider

Associated Press · June 1, 1975

Mrs. Carol Bennett, her wheelchair beside her, slowly pulls herself into the saddle of the same brown mare that crippled her in a riding accident four years ago. After talking her husband into letting her ride again Mrs. Bennett took her horse Missy to school. Now the horse goes down on her front legs, gathers her hind legs under her and rolls in a position leaning toward the wheelchair.
