Georgia Wilson has won Silver in the grade 2 freestyle equestrian at the Paris Paralympics.

It's her second medal of the games- building on a Bronze in the grade 2 individual just a few days ago.

The 28 year old from Abergele was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when she was two.

Her mum Julie says their hospital recommended trying something like horse-riding to improve Georgia's posture, balance and helping to stabilise her core.

Georgia’s first pony was a Shetland called Diana, who was followed by a pony called Poppy.

In Tokyo 2020, her and her pony Sakura won two bronze medals in the Grade II Dressage competition on her debut.
