Ignacio Trevino Fuerte

Started: He took up the sport at age 40 in Monterrey, Mexico. "In 2015 I began to participate in competitions, until some judges from the Mexican Equestrian Federation [FEM] invited me to be part of the Para equestrian team. In 2018 I got my first national selection." (Athlete, 30 Aug 2021; gob.mx, 20 Aug 2021) Reason: He has liked horses since childhood. "I began practising the sport for all the health benefits it gave me. Riding is something very special for me because it lets me feel just like anybody else and gives me the possibility to go wherever I want. It's amazing to feel the air hitting your face when riding."
