A Sunday Horse: Inside the Grand Prix Show Jumping Circuit (Capital Lifestyles)

I am a horsey person and was hoping this would have more content related to the actual horses and the actual show jumping!Instead, it was a breathless, and not particularly well written, run through a long list of celebrities and tedious accounts of how much various things cost. Yawn.Did you know that Bruce Springsteen and Glenn Close go to horse shows because their kids ride? Big deal. Having spent plenty of time traveling the East Coast horse show circuit as a junior rider, I know that most horse people are singularly unimpressed with celebrities and name dropping...who IS the target audience for this book? Not horse people.

Wonderful book

The book gave a lot of inside information on riders and owners and would be good for someone just getting involved in showing because it gave data on average prices, etc. Good insight into the showjumping world.

was not at all what I expected - I personally know the author and found her opinions okey, but I was expecting a story not a running commentary on the horse show politics.
