Eliza, who had bilateral retinoblastoma and had an enucleation, has written about her love for horse riding and how she protects her eyes:

My name is Eliza and I am eight years old. I have a special eye since I was 1 years old. I do like participating in a lot of after school activities. One of my favourite things I love is horses and horse riding. I have been riding for 3 years now. I go horse riding once a week at Tandridge Priory Riding School near where I live and have lessons with my sister. I often ride ponies and my favourite ponies are Munchy and Beauty who are well behaved and easy to ride. So far I have been able to walk, trot and canter with the ponies and I really enjoy it. I am hoping I will be jumping soon and I am very excited. When I ride a pony I wear my glasses to protect my eyes.
