Tania’s wish was to ride a horse
A dream come true for Tania. At fifty years young, Tania’s wish was beautifully simple, but it turned into something incredible – to see and pat a horse once more.
Growing up with horses, they had always been a part of her life, reconnecting with these animals held significant meaning. Joined by her daughter who shares the same love of horses, the day quickly became a special moment for them both.
As the wish unfolded, it soon became clear that Tania would be well enough to ride again and the moment almost felt unreal. Sitting in the saddle once more, surrounded by those she loved, it was truly a dream come true. This wish gave Tania the chance to reconnect with a cherished part of her life and share in the moment as mother and daughter, a memory that will be forever treasured.
Thank you to our wonderful wish team Damien, Warren and Vanessa for fulfilling this last wish and John for photographing these special moments Tania’s loved ones.
