The story of Wendy Schaeffer and her Olympic gold medal winning horse Sunburst is a great one. Those who have read An Eventful Life – Life Stories of Eventing Champions know that it is a story of triumph and tragedy. On April 30th the wonderful horse Sunburst, who died in 1997 just months after winning gold for Australia, was honoured at the Equestrian Australia Sports Achievement Awards by being inducted into the Hall of Fame
