Paralysis No Problem When You Have Desire
Taft California upi seven teen year old Terry Devine is a paralyzed yet rising as a top sulky driver in the California Shetland Trotting Assn. He races ponies under standard harness rules and embraces the challenge. Terry was paralyzed after a childhood gun accident but this setback failed to stop him from training his horse Rusty and preparing another pony for competition. He walks with braces and crutches and works daily with his trotters, learning track routines and how to pass without interference. His mother notes his determination and doctors are surprised by his progress.
