THANKS TO MY FATHER’S DREAM
Signed by Gene LaCroix

It began with a dream, his father's dream. A trip behind the Iron Curtain cracked open a vision neither of them could have predicted, and Gene LaCroix spent a lifetime building a legacy shaped by horses, resilience, and reinvention. National championships, standing ovations, and glittering moments with icons defined an era for LaCroix, but it wasn't an endless tale of triumph. It was also about falling hard, losing it all, facing the silence when fame fades, and asking what truly lasts. LaCroix doesn't glamorize the pain; he meets it with honesty, self-awareness, and a kind of wisdom that doesn't shout, it resonates. "Thanks to My Father's Dream" isn't just storytelling; it's the truth tucked inside that makes this memoir unforgettable. It's a story for anyone who's chased the light… and found meaning in the shadows.

    -Kimberly Jarvis

  • This is an unbelievable book about one of the very first founding fathers of L’Espirit. 10 stars! I’m lucky enough to know Gene personally and have a training facility close to his, I had no idea the story he was about to tell!! Highly recommend this beautifully written memoir, "I will be letting everyone I know borrow it!"

    -Randi Ingram

  • This book about one of the greatest horsemen of our time is a must-read for anyone who loves Arabian horses, Thoroughbred racehorses, or any kind of horse, for that matter. Even if you aren't a "horse person," it's an inspiring story about how passion, perseverance, and an unwavering dedication to one's craft can lead to extraordinary success.
