Next, and lying fourth after a cross country clear, were Mary King and Cav and they jumped an immaculate clear – one of very few in the day – to pile the pressure on the top three.
They finished nearly 12 penalties clear of Mary and were deserving winners of the European Individual title, particularly considering the horse had six months off with leg problems last year.

A terrific book made more spectacular by the happy coincidence that Mary Thomson (now Mary King) and her partner King William won Badminton in 1992 and were selected for the British Olympic Team for Barcelona.
The book is in a week-by-week format, starting with her horses (King William, King Boris, King Basil, and Star Appeal) out at grass, and describes her fitness and competition regimen that aimed (successfully) for Badminton and the Olympics.
It is also heartening to see that even Mary has setbacks, and to follow along as she changes her plan to meet changing circumstances.
