I can't believe it's all come to and end. Unbelievable to think that exactly one year ago tomorrow, the 1st of September, was the first day I got sick! What an extraordinary year it has been!
There is a Zulu word 'Ubuntu' which roughly translated means you are who you are because of the people you have around you. There isn't a better word that I could use to sum up this year💝
There are so many people for me to thank, please if I forget someone I'm so sorry.
Firstly to all my doctors and nurses Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg thank you for getting me through everything!!
To my amazing family (South African and Irish) and friends for all your love, support and belief in me😘
To my incredible team that I have around me and my horses (check my website😉)You are the best of the best
The wonderful Stal Jeannette & Chris Haazen family, without you guys keeping the horses going for me while I was sick and to @Mieke and @Noor Thijs for helping getting Elfie to and back from the airport!
All the people that nobody ever sees but without whom we would not be here: everyone at #SASCOC, #DSA and #SAEF with a special mention to the amazingly patient Robyn Sterley I hope we have not driven you completely crazy!! And of course our phenomenal Chef 'd Equip Ingeborg Sanne, who has taken such good care of us before, during and after all the action!
Our team Southern Hemisphere made up of @Amelia, @Anke, Barbara Minneci, @Antoine Guillaume, @Alix Preud'homme , @James Dwyer and Chris Jeannette & Chris Haazen thank you for making all the competitions such fun and for all the support👍and @Antoine for the beautiful small plaits 😉
A very well done to my SA teammate Cayla Van Der Walt and her trainer Trisha Kerwin-Bell you guys just rocked your first #Paralympics !!
I've thanked @Jeannette Haazen and @Roger Hambuckers for a beautiful Freestyle but I have to say another enormous thank you to Jeannette who took over riding and training Elfie for 7 months when I was sick, @Jeannette without you I couldn't have done this💕
My ever amazing Osteopath Robyn Thank you for been the greatest friend and Osteopath all rolled into one, I know you had a huge head/heart struggle getting me here but we made it👊
The one person who I couldn't have done without my fantastic, amazing, phenomenal, extraordinary trainer Chris Haazen who has trained me for the last 17 years. Chris I hope you realise how many of my dreams you have made come true, I couldn't have done it without you. You are undoubtedly the best horseman I have ever had the privilege of meeting and I can't wait to experience what the future holds for us with Elfie!
And last but never least my incredible husband @James Dwyer James, thank you for being my rock and loving me through everything😘😘 ... Bekijk meerBekijk minder

THATS THE SPIRIT!!
Thanks Philippa Johnson - Dwyer Dressage en Barbara Minneci voor jullie fantastische prestaties op de Para Olympische Spelen !
We hebben thuis kunnen genieten van super mooie proeven En jullie beiden in de Finale !!! Woww !!!
Dan in de Finale nog een mooie achtste plek voor Philippa die door haar ziekte slechts heel kort een combinatie vormt met haar merrie Just in Time en Yes het was echt Just in Time !!
En dan Barbara die zomaar net het podium mist helaas, maar apetrots mag zijn met haar vierde plaats met haar Stuart in de finale echt Toppie!
Dan ben ik ook super trots op mijn Chris die de dames al die maanden/jaren en laatste weken extra begeleid heeft om tot deze geweldige prestaties te komen !
PROUD PROUD PROUD!!You know that feeling where your heart wants to burst with pride for the incredible horse that you are riding? Well that's what I felt riding the Freestyle with Elfie last night💕 it's only the second time we have done a Freestyle and she was with me very step of the way, we were spot on our music and I loved every second of it😍 what a fabulous way to end our first #paralympicgames together and it makes me even more excited about our future!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to @Jeannette Haazen and @Roger Hambuckers for the most phenomenal Freestyle it couldn't have been more perfect for the Elf Princess 💝
As for my Stal Haazen team mate, Barbara Minneci she was on fire these games with her fantastic red unicorn Stuart, everyday they just kept getting better with last night's Freestyle the cream and cherries on the top!!
