You will not be disappointed,
This review is from: Olympic Equestrian: The Sports and the Stories from Stockholm to Sydney (Paperback)
This book is wonderfully put together. Not only does it go into depth about the history of the olympics, but it also includes wonderful pictures. From the beginning to the present, this book tells all. The author goes into how the equestrian sport started in the olympics and to the uncertain future. There are endless profiles on famous riders and their famous horses. This is a wonderful book to add to your library.
