MS occurs when the body’s immune system attacks support structures in the brain, causing them to become damaged and inflamed, according to Healthline.
It is characterized by muscle weakness and spasms, fatigue, numbness and tingling, problems with vision and chronic pain.
“The unrelenting, extreme fatigue was suddenly my new reality,” she wrote on her website.
She fell back on her love of horses to help her through her new life and started equine therapy.
Equine therapy, also called hippotherapy, can improve balance, fatigue, and overall quality of life in people with MS
“The rhythm of a horse’s gait closely assimilates a human’s and moves the rider’s body in a fashion that enhances muscle strength, balance, and flexibility,” she wrote.
“The connection both physical and emotional among horse and human is powerful beyond explanation.”
