Former New Zealand hanoverian stallion Worldwide is going to the London Paralympic Games as the mount of Grade 1b rider Joann Formosa.

Formosa was speechless when she learned of her nomination with Worldwide last week. It has been a lifelong goal of the 51 year old Victorian to represent her country.

“Since I was a child it’s been a dream of mine to represent Australia. I was told that I would never ride again so to be at this level is just fantastic. Wearing the uniform and seeing the Australian flag hanging in the stadium will be unreal,” she said.
