Charisma tells the incredible story of the horse that won two individual Olympic gold medals—a feat matched by only one other horse in history. Mark Todd recounts the ups and downs of their journey, from their successes in the three-day events at Badminton and Burghley to the challenges they overcame, including losing the lead position due to fences down in the show jumping. It's a genuine, inspiring look at how dedication, heart, and a bit of Charisma can lead to greatness. It’s a classic for any bookshelf and a handy one to have on hand if you’re looking for motivation!
