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.

I had forgotten how great Jilly Cooper’s stories are after reading them all years ago - outdated in some respects but so accurate in others - looking forward to the next one in the series

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

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Slightly out of date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 Now it’s unfortunately outdated and horribly sexist with some scenes that are tantamount to rape.
