About this listen
The brooding hero, gypsy Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands the most difficult horse or woman becomes biddable, is driven to the top by his loathing of the darling of the show ring, Rupert Campbell-Black.
Having filched each other’s horses, and fought and fornicated their way around the capitals of Europe, the feud between the two men finally erupts with devastating consequences at the Los Angeles Olympics.

A gallop through the equestrian world
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This was a fantastic book, I came late to the Jilly Cooper novels but it was worth the wait. Even though it was written years ago it is still a great read and isn't really showing its age I love the horse world in real life and her characters are larger than life, especially Rupert. I didn't warm to his wife but that just added to my enjoyment of the book, everyone cant be perfect!. The culmination at the Olympics was superb, even if it was unbelievable to have Rupert riding with an injured arm. I loved the side story of Fenn and Dino,wish there was a follow up book with them as central characters.

jolly showjumping romp
I enjoyed this story a lot. It seems a little dated now , but it is still worth a go. The narration was good, but lacked charisma, especially in the portrayal of the the lead characters

Not a classic, but a thoroughbred romp..,
I have to say I enjoyed this more than I expected. With a cast of dastardly upper class riders, the obligatory gipsy wild card, their various dolls, molls and hacks, thus turned out to be a far more entertaining listen than I expected. Easy going entertainment!

First time reader will read the rest!
Totally not my typical book choice but really enjoyed it, thought it would bore me as I usually like thrillers but the story kept me engaged and I really enjoyed it!
