Maija Vance, the jockey who was told she would never walk again after a horrific race fall, has started riding trackwork in the latest stage of an extraordinary recovery from life-changing injuries.
In September 2018 the 29-year-old suffered 13 rib fractures and broke her back in five places with the T8 vertebra crushing her spinal cord and leaving her with no feeling or movement from the waist down.
Now she is riding out for trainer Tarissa Mitchell and even talking of one day “riding on racedays” again.
“I m doing really good,” she said in an interview with Radio TAB Australia. “I ve been working very closely with my physio, trying to get back to riding racehorses. So I ve just started back on the track now and it s going really, really well.
