The candid autobiography of one of the world's leading and most popular three-day eventers William Fox-Pitt has been one of the most successful three-day event riders for many years. He began eventing at the age of fifteen and decided to pursue this passion as a career after graduating from university. In 2004, he had a year of extremes, going from winning Badminton to having the agony of seeing his horse get injured during the Olympics, which destroyed his chances of an individual medal and prevented the team from winning gold. The following year, he won Burghley, Gatcombe and Bramham to confirm himself as Britain's top rider. In his eagerly awaited autobiography, he talks about the issues confronting the sport and reveals much about the vital partnerships with team-mates and, above all, the horses that help him to gain such success.

This is an ideal training guide with simple explanations of the different jumping exercises used by world-class horse riding celebrities. The contributors are all Olympic riders or trainers at the very top of eventing. Their achievements include World, European and Olympic medals, Badminton and numerous Burghley Horse Trial wins. This book features sequential photographs and notes as to when to use the exercises, when not to, and how to fix common problems. It includes photographs of the celebrity riders and their training philosophies.
