Pippa funnell autobiography of a face: The autobiography of the most successful

Please see your browser settings for this feature. EMBED for wordpress. Want more? Well written. Pippa Funnell - the autobiography The equestrian sport of eventing has experienced a great deal of scrutiny, tragedy and change in the past decade. Though much discussion over the past three years has been of the new format changes, the most uncontested feel-good story in the community has been that of Pippa Funnell.

Thankfully, Pippa found the time through a very busy to record some of the details of her journey. Remarkably, she tells the story of her life to this moment in time 21 August -- such that the book could be launched at Burghley in such a way that it is not just a summary of happenings. She draws you into to her horse crazed youth. She describes the pains of pursuing the life of an athlete - one where both parents are not always pleased with your decisions.

She describes the sacrifices - particularly as they relate to family - that are implicit in the life of one seeking to be the best in the world. She details each event in the book with great success. Information is supplied for the reason of understanding - no more, no less, and we are then able to follow the story-line as it unfolds.

Fortunately, there is no tidy epilogue - and this is most suitable as her story continues. Her account of the equestrian details is most satisfying. Her insight in to her cross country riding and balance should be duly noted by many. Through her account of her work with Nicky Heath, we all learn of the importance of the mental game.

And of course, she tells her tale in a fashion that pays highest respect to the horses that have made her successes possible.

Go ahead, read this book, and then shower your horse with praise. Just love Pippa and follow her riding. Great stuff!!!! One person found this helpful. Great read but not a single pic to help visually. Would have loved to see her with her horses or winning or with family. Kinda let down that I had to google the horses and competition pics.

Top reviews from other countries. Great read. Great product and excellent service. Really enjoyed this easy going book, well written, great stories from this amazing horsewoman, thanks Pippa, for a byreally good read. Did not do much for my nerves! A very hard working ,dedicated and honest person shines through though. No one is perfect and not even those althletes who are at the very top of their game and Pippa has stood firm against all the critics to prove to not just everyone but also herself that it was possible.

This rider autobiography was one of the very best that i have read in terms of horse rider accounts and i found it to be very down-to-earth and heartwarming as well as truthfull. Pippa is such an inspiration to all young and old, amatuer and professional and i would reccomend that any horse rider of whatever standard should definately read her autobiography, as you will find nothing better in the way of inspiring writing.

It was such an easy read and one where the reader feels as if you are having a conversation with Pippa herself, which is really nice and that she is very honest and a truely remarkable sports professional. Alexandra Goldthorpe. Love this book Would highly recommend this book to any equestrian, young or old, but particularly those who love the discipline of eventing.

You don't have to have to competed at all. This is a tale of big dreams and aspirations, sacrifice, hard work, disappointment and finally triumph. Pippa captivated me the entire way, and made me feel and see her life as she experienced it, and that's a unique talent for any writer. I lent my physical copy of this book to a friend who competes in eventing.

I never got it back but I don't care. Books should be shared and loved, and I have this copy. Search the Wayback Machine Search icon An illustration of a magnifying glass. Sign up for free Log in.
