- Summary
- COI synopsis: A film portrait of Pat Smythe, one of the world’s finest women show-jumpers. A self taught rider, she has achieved success in Olympic, international and British show-jumping events and has three times been acclaimed British Sportswoman of the Year. She is seen outside Buckingham Palace when she was awarded the OBE. The film visits her at her home in Gloucestershire where her spare time is filled funning a guest-house and writing books. Her own brilliant horsemanship is illustrated and she gives advice to young riders.
