    Jun 24 2026
    Widely regarded as one of the greatest event riders of all time, Sir Mark Todd’s career is the stuff of legend. In part one of this deep dive, we explore the journey of a man who crossed generations, broke records, and redefined the sport of eventing. From his harrowing first international experience at the 1978 World Championships in Kentucky, to his Badminton breakthrough. How a "shaggy little pony" he almost didn't ride became his greatest partner, leading to back-to-back individual Olympic Gold medals and his uncanny ability to hop on a strange horse and win at the highest level just days later.
