Pippa Funnell: The Autobiography
by Pippa FunnellPippa Funnell is the golden girl of the British equestrian scene - but it hasn't always been so. She seemed doomed to be a 'misser' in the really big competitions, lacking that special ingredient that makes a true champion. Everything began to change for her in 1999 when her results, including her first European title, were excellent, but it was at the Sydney Olympics that she really came of age, winning a silver medal.Since Sydney, Pippa went from strength to strength. She completed the double of European Championships in 2001, she won Badminton in 2002, and in 2003 won the Rolex Grand Slam and was awarded Sportswoman of the Year by the Sunday Times.In 2004 Pippa was a double Olympic medallist in Athens, and this autobiography includes her Olympic diary, as she records the ups and downs of the competition, the triumph of the dressage, her cross-country round and the showjump down that cost her a gold medal. As if all this were not enough, there was the controversy of the medals being reallocated on appeal, meaning Pippa won both a silver and a bronze.

Pippa: The Cheetah and Her Cubs
by Joy AdamsonPippa had spent almost all of her young life with humans before Joy Adamson adopted her, but Mrs. Adamson decided the cheetah would be happier living wild in the bush, - even though the change would not be easy. When Pippa had been with her for some weeks, Mrs. Adamson took her to the Meru Game Reserve and set up camp to prepare her for the life of a wild animal. Gradually, over many months, Pippa became more independent, learning to kill so that she could supply her food and be off on her own for several days at a time. Later, Pippa's first litter was born, and she led her human friend into the bush to visit the hidden nursery. This is an engrossing account of Pippa's successful rehabilitation to a wild state, though she and the cubs were always friendly with the author. Mrs. Adamson's photographic talents are superbly exhibited in the many pictures of these magnificent and graceful animals, looking alternately like playful pets or like the elegant and elusive animals they are in their natural African setting. Children who were delighted by Mrs. Adamson's earlier book, Elsa and Her Cubs, will find equal enjoyment in Pippa : The Cheetah and Her Cubs.
