ATTITUDE
IS EVERYTHING 5!


Your Attitude Towards Life
Defines Not Only Who You Are
But Also Your Quality Of Life...

Her name is Bettina Eistel and her horse is Fabuleax 5. What is even more compelling than the fact that she can brush her horse with her feet, is that she competes, very well, at the Paralympics in dressage. Bettina didn't just overcome her disability, she walloped it!       She was born in 1961 in Germany, with no arms due to the drug Thalidomide. As a small child, Bettina learned how to use her feet and toes as her hands and fingers. As a youngster, she started in horseback riding lessons. She wears riding boots with cut-outs in the toes so she can have 'hands'. She can saddle, bridle, hose down, wrap, blanket and do just about anything else that is needed for her horse. And, she rides by steering with her legs and holding the reins in her mouth. she can also text, write and put on mascara with her toes!       Eistel was formerly Vice-Europe and Vice World Champion (two silver and bronze at the European Championships in Portugal in 2002 and three silver at the World Championships in Belgium in 2003) and won two silver and one bronze medal at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens she also won three times the German championship. As the most recent successes are the bronze medal in the required tasks of the individual competition and the silver medal in the team standings at the 2008 Paralympics in Hong Kong."
