Book Title: Jubilee: The First Therapy Horse and an Olympic Dream
Book Description: Lis Hartel became paralyzed after contracting polio in 1944. Her dreams of riding horses and competing were shattered. After months in the hospital, doctors told her she’d never ride again. Lis tried anyway. How do you stay on a horse without using your legs? How do you give the subtle cues needed in dressage with limited mobility? With hard work—and an unlikely horse named Jubilee. Lis Hartel was the first woman with a disability ever to win an Olympic medal, and the first woman to stand equally beside men on the Olympic winners' podium in any sport.
