Mark Todd’s autobiography So Far So Good is one of my favorite eventing books, perhaps my favorite of all time. I liked it so much I named my next dog Charisma. As extraordinary as Mark Todd’s eventing achievements were from the beginning of his career up until So Far So Good’s publication in 1999, his achievements since then, including the comeback and of course this year’s Badminton win at 55 years young, might be even more incredible. We’ll get to read all about Toddy’s life since 1999 in his next autobiography, including the retirement after Sydney, training racehorses in New Zealand, and coming back to compete in Beijing. Unfortunately, it sounds like some of the more exciting moments might be left out, as Toddy tells Horse and Hound “There’s nothing scandalous or surprising, that’s all I’ll say.” The book is being ghost written by Kate Green and is set to be released around Badminton next year. The only thing about releasing the book then is that with the Olympics looming later that year the story will be inevitably far from over. [Horse and Hound]
Go Toddy.
