- Charisma, the New Zealand horse which with Mark Todd won the gold in the
- Olympic 3 day event two times successively was retired onto his owners New
- Zealand farm after the 1988 games.
-
- He was given a heroes welcome home an toured the country for a little while
- before being deservedly retired .
-
- As far as we hear here in NZ he runs round the paddocks gettting petted and fed
- by all his visotrs and fans.
-
- If anything happened to him there would be a national outcry here.
