For the first time, Olympians Karen and David O’Connor, the dynamic first couple of American eventing, tell their inspirational story in Life in the Galloping Lane. The O'Connor's, candid about their early, character-building failures, also highlight their later successes, which include two Olympic team medals and David’s individual gold at the Sydney Olympics.

The book also offers a rare glimpse into the world of international eventing, featuring many of the sport’s biggest names, including Jimmy Wofford, Mark Phillips, Bruce Davidson, Mark Todd, Mary King, and, of course, the horses-Custom Made, Prince Panache, Giltedge, Biko, Wilton Fair, and more.

The book is as enjoyable for a youngster who idolizes this all-American couple as it is for anyone who relishes a tale in which the determination to succeed overcomes all obstacles.
