Her greatest passion in life were horses! In fact, Nelly Jacobs, as a young woman grew up in Holland loving horses and participating in races and often winning horseback-riding prizes.

However, unfortunately, when Nelly was just 51 years old she started to show the first signs of Parkinson's disease. Before long the disease has weakened her to the point of having to stop riding.

Now an association called the Hidden Desires Project has been able to fulfill her desire to enjoy for one last time that feeling of riding on a horse despite being unable to move or speak. In the video, we can see by her wonderful smile that the special riding bed has definitely and completely satisfied her last desire!
