Want to help shape the future of mobility? We’re looking for new Supersmith Community Ambassadors to join our community.

We launched our Community Ambassador Programme last year to ensure our community is represented at the centre of everything we do – from co-producing our content and sharing lived experiences on our platforms, to informing the continued development of the 3Scooter and future Supersmith products.

It’s been a huge success so far, and we’ve had the privilege of working with some very special people. 🧡

→ As Supersmith continues to grow, we’re now looking to expand our community of Ambassadors.

Community Ambassadors get exclusive access to Supersmith news and events, opportunities to test new products and features as we develop them, and the chance to share their feedback, experiences and stories with the Supersmith team and wider community.

⚠️ We're open to all, however we're particularly looking for Community Ambassadors based in Bristol. (Is that you?)

Interested? Apply to become a Community Ambassador via the link in our bio.

It’s the little moments 💚

Still asking the same question. Still waiting for the document.

The complaint has now moved into formal Equal Status, data access and legal-assistance processes, with Sunflower Ireland, ASD Ireland and the equestrian press also aware and following what happens next.

At this stage, it really is simple:

If the risk assessment existed, show it.
Answer the questions. Apologise. Fix it. Don’t do it again.

Clover really dislikes the fact she’s not the only horse child in the family. Even more that we have her son now too 😂 both boys adore clover, she doesn’t though. 😂😂😂

A little update after yesterday because I know I worried a lot of yous 🤍

I went to what I thought was a normal physio appointment and was sent immediately to the Surgical Assessment Unit. At one point emergency spinal surgery was being discussed, which wasn’t exactly how I expected the day to go.

Thankfully, after assessment, they decided it wasn’t something requiring emergency surgery there and then. I’ve now been referred back to my specialist teams because there are still a lot of questions that need answering — particularly why, at 34, there are already such significant changes in my spine.

But something dawned on me yesterday when I actually saw my scans.

This hasn’t just happened. I’ve been living through it.

The pain. Loss of power. Struggling to walk. Needing my wheelchair or rollator. Wondering why my body suddenly couldn’t do things it could before.

Even at the Dublin Horse Show, I was dealing with this. You just couldn’t necessarily see it.

And then it hit me…

While this has been happening, I became a THREE-TIME NATIONAL CHAMPION. 🏆

Clover and I achieved a 76% personal best while I was having immense difficulty with my body.

Seeing that scan didn’t make me feel defeated. It actually made me look at everything we’ve achieved completely differently.

I don’t share this because I want sympathy. If anything, sympathy makes me less likely to talk about it. I don’t want disability to become a sad story about me.

I’d rather someone watching this thinks, “Maybe I can find my way too.”

Success doesn’t require a body that works perfectly. Sometimes it’s adapting. Sometimes it’s doing things differently. Sometimes it’s having an absolute nightmare behind the scenes and still riding down that centre line.

Yesterday gave me more questions than answers. There’s still a lot for my doctors to work out.

But three National Championships and a 76% PB while struggling far more than I even understood at the time?

That’s the bit I’m taking from this. ❤️

Thank you for every message, call and bit of support. I genuinely appreciate you all.

Now we figure out what’s next. 🦓

with Vicki

I’m still waiting on one very simple answer from the RDS.

I was told on the day that the area disabled spectators were being put into hadn’t been risk assessed.

So I asked them to show me what risk assessment actually covered it.

Still nothing.

This week they’ve confirmed they have my ES.1 and ES.2 forms, my Subject Access Request is being dealt with, and the CCTV is being preserved.

Grand.

But none of that answers the actual question.

Was there a risk assessment for that area or wasn’t there?

If there was, show me.

If there wasn’t, then that opens up a whole other set of questions.

I’ve also now gone to Dublin City Council looking for the records around the Castle Grid area, because at this stage I’m done asking the same question over and over.

I don’t want waffle. I don’t want process.

I want the document.
