Mark Todd"s eventing career is the stuff of legend and encompasses one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time. When he "retired" from competing in eventing in 2000, he had already been named "Rider of the Century" for his natural empathy with a horse and his extraordinary success, which included back-to-back Olympic gold medals, five Burghley wins and three Badminton victories. The story of his progress from dairy farmer to world renowned sportsman is told with typically laid-back humor, but it reveals the fierce determination, discipline, and personal sacrifice that lies behind Todd"s calm exterior.
