Lissa Bachner has been ranked among the country’s leading amateur equestrians.  When she was three, Bachner was diagnosed with two, rare immune disorders -- Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, which inflames her joints, and uveitis, which attacked her eyes and lead to her blindness. By the time she was thirty, Lissa had lost her left eye and most of the vision in her right eye. Regardless of her lack of vision, she continued to ride and compete at show jumping's highest level.Despite the crippling diseases, painful surgeries and her doctor's disapproval. Lissa never lost her passion for horses and riding. She has competed all over Virginia, where she is from, and in several other states on the East Coast. She has won 4 national rankings, 10 zone rankings, 82 nationally ranked classes and 118 top 3 placings. Lissa graduated from Skidmore College with a B.A. in English.
