In The Horse God Built, best-selling equestrian writer Lawrence Scanlan has written a tribute to an exceptional man that is also a backroads journey to a corner of the racing world rarely visited.

As Secretariat's groom, loyal friend, and protector, Eddie understood the horse far better than anyone else.

Over 15 years ago, Jane Savoie wrote the first book to recognize the importance of training the mind and shaping attitude in order to achieve higher levels of riding skill than ever imagined. Riders who benefited from the lessons in "That Winning Feeling!" clamored for more, and Savoie responded with her fabulous follow-up audiobook, "It's Not Just About the Ribbons". Once again, Savoie shares the tools and ideas for self-improvement that she has used, not only to help herself deal with challenges, but her students—who range from Olympic contenders to intermediate riders—as well.
