Life In The Galloping Lane

Karen and David O'Connor, the golden couple of three-day eventing, have five Olympic medals between them, as well as wins at Rolex Kentucky, Badminton, the World Equestrian Games, and many other key competitions in their discipline. But there is more to them than their victories. They have come to symbolize all that is best about equestrianism-regard for horses and their fellow competitors, an appreciation of every discipline, and a kind and sensible style of training horses and riders. Life in the Galloping Lane is the story of how Karen and David got their start, from the backyard horses of their childhood, to the years of struggle as they worked their way to the top of one of the most demanding of horse sports. How they handled the highs and lows and the horses that shared their adventures is a fascinating and inspirational story intertwined with the history of eventing for the last quarter-century. Insights into the O'Connors' lives and training techniques make this book one that will appeal not only to eventers, but also to anyone who rides or is interested in horse sport.
