Jersey Desk/10274326

RED BANK, N.J. - JerseyDesk -- Heather Wallace, the multiple award-winning and best-selling author of equine non-fiction and fiction books has now teamed up with US Paralympic Dressage rider Sydney Collier and Trafalgar Square Books for her newest release, Beyond Expectations: An Extraordinary Equestrian Journey from Deadly Diagnosis to the Paralympic Games.

Sydney Collier is blind in one eye and paralyzed on one side of her body. As a result, writing her memoir was a distant dream until she paired up with the author of Confessions of a Timid Rider at Equitana in 2019 and again at Equine Affaire in 2022. After years of hard work, laughter, and tears, Syd's story is now available with a foreword written by Olympic show jumper Georgina Bloomberg.

This book is a motivational journey of a young girl with big dreams who became diagnosed with a deadly disease at a young age. Despite debilitating symptoms and multiple setbacks, Syd fought to achieve her goals of competing in the Paralympics and becoming a motivating force for others with disabilities, in the equestrian world and out.
