From the Dust Jacket:  “Pat Smythe has jumped her horses in almost every major show from Madison Square Garden to Madrid, including the 1956 Equestrian Olympics in Stockholm, and in turn has garnered most of the awards.  One Jump Ahead might be called an around-the-world-on-a-horse account of some of her experiences. … Sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, Miss Smythe’s reminiscences are always lively.  …   Pat Smythe is acknowledged to be the greatest horsewoman Britain has produced - indeed it can be claimed that no other country can beat her in the show-jumping arena.”
