OverviewThe lively memoirs of dressage rider and Olympic gold medallist Carl Hester, with a foreword by Martin Clunes. Carl Hester's outstanding career was crowned when he led Great Britain to gold-medal victory at the London 2012 Olympics. In his memoirs, he tells the captivating story of the passion for horse riding which transformed his life and made him the champion he is today. With rare and humorous insight, Carl details his astonishing feats in the World and European Championships, and at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, when he became Great Britain's youngest-ever rider to compete at a Games. His riding skills have only improved with age, culminating in hugely successful years as part of the gold-medal teams that won the 2011 European Dressage Championships and the London 2012 Olympics. Carl now offers his admirers the opportunity to read the inspiring and totally honest story of one of the very best riders - and horsemen - in the world.
