Sydney Collier is no ordinary teenage honor student from Ann Arbor Michigan. This young ambitious para-equestrian is a beaming light of hope, truth and inspiration. I had the privilege to meet Sydney, along with her dedicated mother, family & companion and service dog "Journey."
Syd, at age 7, was diagnosed with an extremely rare congenital birth defect known as Wyburn -Mason Syndrome. A few years later, she suffered a stroke which has left the entire left side of her body all but paralyzed.

Still, Syd pushes onward with a smile as big as Texas. She reaches out encouraging and inspiring others with disabilities while also working very hard to reach her own goals.
She is training to qualify and represent the USA in the Paralympics and the World Equestrian Games. To learn more about Sydney, please click here! Sydsparaquest.com.
