Libby
Watson is the third member of the Motor City Posse. She is considered
the wild card of the group, displaying a wide range of talents and a complex
personal background that makes it hard to pigeonhole her. Many within
the industry believe if she can tie all of these together, she may be
the best of the bunch.
Watson hails from
Westchester County in New york, born to a prominent family. As a teenager,
she was a competitive equestrian, challenging for the junior nationals
title in Albany, NY in 1989. While finishing through an easy ride, someone
in the audience sounded an air horn, startling Libby's horse. The frightened
animal pitched forward, throwing Watson from his back. Watson somersaulted
and landed heavily on her back, suffering multiple injuries including
a lacerated kidney, two cracked vertebrae, a torn ACL, a fractured ankle
and a severe concussion. Her doctors were concerned that she might never
walk normally again, but after six months in a hospital she began four
years of rehabilitation.
