Joe Fargis' career with Touch Of Class in the 1980s was nothing short of legendary,
as they won double gold together at the '84 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, among
countless other accolades, and went on to join the Show Jumping Hall of Fame. But as

best in the world hit some bumps on the road to greatness.
