Nicole Kullen

After contracting Meningococcal Meningitis Septicemia in 1996, I've slowly progressed around my horses.

Both my lower legs were amputated, I have limited arm movement & strength, with no use or feeling in both hands & wrists, plus all my internal organs were damaged.

In 2000, I began competing in Dressage & Para Equestrian Dressage competitions with the EFA (Equestrian Federation of Australia) for able-bodied riders & the RDAA (Riding for the Disabled Assoc. Of Australia) for riders with a disability.

Since then I haven't looked back & have successfully represented my country several times & won silver & bronze medals at the 2007 World Champ's & competed at major events such as the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, 2007 World Championships & 2010 World Equestrian Games.
