From the Horse's Mouth,

This review is from: So Far, So Good (Hardcover)
So Far, So Good is a superb read. It is the autobiography of Mark Todd, New Zealand's equestrian icon, and international event rider of the century.It is fascinating to read of his early life in New Zealand, and of the sheer hard work and detirmination of his early years on the international three-day eventing scene. This book also reflects the early years of New Zealand eventing, as Todd and his contemporaries were the forefront of a wave of New Zealanders who have since dominated the international circuit for over a decade. Todd has a relaxed 'one-to-one' writing style, and is not afraid to state his opinions. I enjoyed this aspect of So Far So Good the most, as it is rare for riders who are still involved in the sport to make their opinions known so widely, for fear of controversy. Not that Todd is in any way vindictive or spiteful, merely that he writes about the way he sees things, without fear of offence. Readers do not need to be involved in Equestrian sport to enjoy this book, as Todd is an inspiration to any person who wants to be inspired to succeed in their field, whilst still retain their values and sense of place.
