Publisher's Summary
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.

Go the Bonkbuster !
Egged on by my wife Marie Wilson who was a teenage NZ Show jump champion 1975, and had devoured Jilly Cooper's books in the '80s.
This is the most famous of her long novels and I found it a great romp. At 29hrs, published in 1985, the genre is an erotic romance, intricate plots and in the UK often called a "Bonkbuster" book. There is lots of delightful politically incorrect hubba hubba here and her worst but most famous character Rupert Campbell-Black is to turn up in other books.
Riders is a gloriously dirty, sexy, silly, funny romp through the world of showjumping. Campbell-Black, shagging his way through horsey wives and hangers-on was based on a number of people according to Cooper.
She won the inaugural Comedy women in print lifetime achievement award in 2019.
Highly Recommend.

Great
I had forgotten how great Jilly Cooper’s stories are after reading them all years ago - outdated in some respects but so accurate in others - looking forward to the next one in the series

Ready, Set, GO!
The first in the Rutshire Chronicles introduces us to the greatest characters - love the narrator instilling different voices for the characters.
Just a great way to get lost in a story given how things are in the outside world today

Forever a favorite
I’ve always loved this book and Gerri’s narration was wonderful. A lovely little horsey escape.

Simply splendid
I had my doubts at the beginning, then before I knew it, I was swept into the ‘days of our lives’ in British show jumping society. A wonderful blend of characters, fast moving storyline, enough naughtiness and OMG moments and easy enjoyable female narration.
Once I started, I could not stop and I loved the ending, even she’d some tears.
Definitely worth one credit for 28 hours of addictive listening.

Loved it !!
I first read this book many years ago! I was a young teen at the time. It was truly an awesome experience having someone else read the whole book to me.
I loved the whole series of these and I'll be going through them on here now 30 years later!!

Slightly out of date
I read the book around 40 years ago as a teenager and thought it was terribly racy at the time. Now it’s unfortunately outdated and horribly sexist with some scenes that are tantamount to rape.
