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.

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.

Go the Bonkbuster !

I had forgotten how great Jilly Cooper’s stories are after reading them all years ago - outdated in some respects but so accurate in others - looking forward to the next one in the series

Great
