Eleanor's
Personal Profile
My name
is Eleanor Brimmer. I am a Grade III para dressage rider, and 2011 was
my first year competing at an international level. I formerly competed
in hunters and made the switch to dressage in 2009. I have two horses,
Carino H a twelve year old Holstiner gelding by
Caretino and Vadico Interagro a ten year old
Lusitano gelding by Quixote Interagro. We are still very much in the
development phase, but my biggest accomplishment of 2011 was qualifying
both horses for the USEF National Para Dressage
Championships, I was Reserve Champion and Third overall with Carino and
Vadico within Grade III. Grade III is equivalent
to second level, and includes riders that are blind or have mild multi
limb impairment. My disability is Cerebral Palsy, that primarily causes
muscle tightness on my left side. It causes many challenges in my
riding, my body is not balanced and I have weakness on that left side.
I'm looking forward to facing new challenges in 2012. I'm currently in
Wellington, FL with Carino training with Rosalind Kinstler for the
winter. We have two CPEDI***s in January, where I hope to qualify for
selection trials for the 2012 Para Olympics in London. While I am in
Florida I am also attending the USDF Young Rider Graduate Program and I
am going to work towards becoming a "r" technical delegate so I can
eventually become a para
dressage steward.
Outside the horse world. I graduated with my BA in American Culture from
Randolph-Macon Woman's College in 2008, and I am working towards
completing my masters in Library and Information Sciences.
