This book looks back to tell the Badminton story: its pioneering beginnings in 1949 and the vision of its creators, through its rise in importance as a training ground for Olympic hopefuls, to its place in the heart of every equestrian enthusiast today.  The champions, their worthy rivals and the army of people behind the scenes, including fence builders, the stud groom and stable manager, offer fascinating insights into the past, present and future of this unique event.  This is a glorious celebration of Badminton Horse Trials through the eyes of the people whose skill, effort and enthusias have shaped it and will continue to make it the finest three-day event in the world.
