Where can I find information about how blind people learn to ride horses competitively?

Question

I know this has been done by Tory Watters (show jumping) and Alison Dolan (dressage), but I would like to learn how they trained. Websites would be great help! Thanks.

Many blind riders found mentors who were willing to work with them and help them to achieve their competitive dreams.

We, AQHA, have four or five visually challenged riders who compete in our disabled classes...we also have a legally blind individual who is a heeler in our team roping.  He rarely misses, he wears a head set and is in communication with a ground person  who tells him when he should pitch that loop.

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but I wanted to share this with you...through them maybe you can find the information that you need.

Answer 3

Try lots of searching on Google News and on equestrian sites, you'll find what your looking for eventually.

I found this pretty interesting:
