Book Synopsis
"Learning never stops. It still surprises me that I can discover new and effective ways to train" Gill Watson's lifelong dedication to training and mentoring young riders has taken her on a journey that has spanned decades. Many of today's most renowned British eventers began their international careers under Gill's watchful eye. Full of insight, humour and occasional spills, Gill has drawn together memories from over forty former pupils and colleagues. This is an extraordinary record of life as an international team coach, and a fascinating look at the skills and techniques which forge young talent into future stars. With guest contributors including Olympic Gold Medal winner Laura Collett and a foreword by Pippa Funnell.

Trade Review
'This book is a must-read for all coaches' -- PIPPA FUNNELL; 'Anyone who looks at the results that Gill pulled out of the bag, year after year, with so many different riders, will understand what a talented trainer she is' -- LAURA COLLETT; "The book is a huge testament to Gill’s skill as a horsewoman and technical coach, plus her ability to bring out the best in people ... I wanted to start again at the beginning as soon as I finished it" -- HORSE AND HOUND magazine
