Fredrick Win was born without a partial right leg. It’s a fact of life, not an excuse. Better yet, it inspires a drive to win.

Win was born in Burma, a country in Southeast Asia, and started to ride when he was six years old. Traditional Trick Riding was his sport. It represented Burma’s military history going into battle.
