Mark Todd, CBE, is the only rider since 1932 to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals in eventing, which he achieved in 1984 and 1988 on his best-loved horse, Charisma. In 2008, he returned to the top of the sport after an eight-year break, competing at his fifth Olympic Games, in Beijing, winning a team bronze medal for New Zealand at the World Equestrian Games in 2010 and Badminton on Land Vision in 2011. He then went on to win a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics. He is now based back in England, in Berkshire. Kate Green, who worked with Mark on this book, has been closely involved with the sport for more than 20 years, reporting the last four Olympic Games and many major championships. She also worked on the autobiographies of Pippa Funnell and Mary King. She works as managing editor of COUNTRY LIFE.

This compelling and entertaining biography reveals the fierce determination and discipline it takes to become named, rider of the century.
