| Book Description | No Hurdle Too High is an inspiring story of a young girls struggle for success against the odds. Margie Goldsteins love of animals introduced her to the world of show jumping, even without her own horse. Gradually, she overcame her parents objections: safety, finances, time. To gain extra rides, she worked at the horse barn and in the pet kennels. Grateful horse owners gave her equipment, such as saddles, bridles, and boots, in exchange for her help. As a teenager, she taught younger children, broke in the most difficult ponies and horses, and drove a huge truck and trailer to horse shows. Margies love of athletic challenges spurred her toward Grand Prix competition, but professionals discouraged her. Youre too small, they told her. Youll never control these large animals. So she rode horses that most riders wouldnt even consider. All too often, these efforts brought only broken bones.She persisted. The laughter at her mountsthe moose in horse skin or carousel ponygave way to setting show jumping records: American GrandPrix Association (AGA) Rider of the Year for an unprecedented six times; most Grand Prix wins (93) in U.S. rider history; all time money winner; and, finally, the Olympics! |
