Official synopsis Publisher
As the son of two Badminton riders, William Fox-Pitt was born into the eventing world, and when he won the huge red, white and blue champion’s rosette at his local Pony Club Gymkhana in the Jubilee Year of 1977, he was hooked. Now, in this autobiography, he discusses his battles to get to the top, and the excitement of the sport that has dominated his life.
William speaks freely about the break-up of his first marriage and his move to Dorset in 2002 with his second wife, racing journalist Alice Plunkett. It was the prelude to a period of unrivalled success on the eventing circuit. His career has seen both triumph and disaster: his Badminton victory in 2004 was followed by the heartbreak of the Athens Olympics, with Tamarillo going lame when poised for team gold and individual glory. He also analyses the risks in a sport that has killed several close friends, and how that knowledge affects him each time he goes out to compete.
What Will Be will appeal to anyone with an interest in equestrian matters.
