Set against the glorious Cotswold countryside and the playgrounds of the world, Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles, RIDERS, RIVALS, POLO, THE MAN WHO MADE HUSBANDS JEALOUS, APPASSIONATA and SCORE!, offer an intoxicating blend of skulduggery, swooning romance, sexual adventure and hilarious high jinks. RIDERS, the first and steamiest in the series, takes the lid off international showjumping, a sport where the brave horses are almost human, but the humans behave like animals. 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 beautiful bounder and 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 during the Los Angeles Olympics.

Great, fun read especially if you love horses.
Follow the character's(human and horse) through the British show jumping circuit.
Sizzling sex scenes, to great detail's on show jumping make it hard to put this down, even after all these years. I first read it when it came out in the 80's and for the most part it really holds up.

Amazing
This is one of my all time favourite books!!! Just take it to the beach, or sit outside, or inside on a rainy day and just let yourself escape into the world of show jumping and non-stop drama. A great read.

Perfect Guilty Pleasure Reading!
Altho it is a bit oversized, this is the perfect book to escape the real world while lounging and sippin' summer sun tea. Vivid characters in wild scenarios made me laugh outloud. Sassy and bold!
