A humorous look at the world through the eyes of a horse, peppered with satirical observations about the equestrian world.

‘Do Puddles Eat Ponies? A Horse Seeks Answers to Life’s Fundamental Questions’ by Sarah-Katrin Bourdeaux

Then, just before his greatest triumph, the hoofless betray Sharif to cold-blooded criminals, and everything—even really, this time, his life—seems to be at stake. Can one little Arabian horse stretch his courage and reach his dream?

This hilarious, unusual, superbly imagined illustrated novel for “grownups who like horses” is destined to be a hit with anyone who enjoys a little bit of ridiculous and a slightly cynical take on the subcultures that bind us.

A miscellany of equestrian delights including famous horses in history, work horses, showjumping, dressage, equestrian artists, war horses, carriage driving, racehorses and many more.

‘The Horse Lover's Miscellany: Wit, Wisdom and Wonders’ by J. C. Jeremy Hobson

The Horse Lover’s Miscellany celebrates this thinking by including fascinating, amusing, quirky and practical information likely to be of interest to every weekend rider, horse owner (both aspiring and current) and enthusiastic equestrian. The author focuses on many aspects; from equine ancestry to equine epitaphs; from dressage to showjumping; carriage driving to ploughing matches; pony clubs to polo and much more besides. It’s an eclectic mix of fact, moving tales of endurance in the harshest conditions, eccentricity, quotes, amusing anecdotes and ‘I never knew that’ snippets from both times past and the present day.

A memoir of building a life around hospitality and horseback riding, and the delicate dance of creating happiness for others and finding it for oneself.

‘To Borrow Freedom: Riding Down a Dream on the Coast of Portugal’ by Sheila Greenfield

In her debut memoir, Greenfield tells the story of their unique business's genesis and its heyday as it became a favored European travel destination, with repeat visitors returning every year. From high-speed gallops through the surf to free-spirited parties under starlit skies, readers will be entranced by the stunning natural world Greenfield's uniquely sensitive prose brings to life. With honesty and vivid reflection, she captures the unglamorous realities and daily challenges of life as a host, entertainer, employer, and caretaker. It is a story of endurance and discipline, but also of camaraderie and communion as guests had the chance to experience life-altering partnerships with Greenfield's herd of 35 exceptional pure or cross-bred Lusitano horses, the breed native to Portugal. Along the way, readers meet the horses and learn their backstories, benefitting from the remarkable lessons the animals with both their day-to-day caretakers, and the visiting riders who knew them only for short but intense periods.

A superb collection of Annie Tempest's brilliant and humorous cartoons depicting the Totterings as they grapple with ageing and the countless challenges of 21st-century life.

‘Twilight Years with the Totterings’ by Annie Tempest

Annie Tempest’s wonderful cartoon strip about a fictitious English village, with the eccentric Lord and Lady Tottering and their family who reside at Tottering Hall is much lauded and internationally loved. For more than thirty years, Tottering-by-Gently has appeared weekly in Country Life magazine to the delight of readers.

The struggle with the generation gap and the wokerati is a dynamic always at play at Tottering Hall. In this latest book, Annie Tempest has brought together her favourite cartoons on the subject of growing older in a fast, glitchy and disrupted world where everything the aged Tottering types do is translated into a boomer meme to be giggled at. Unapologetically, the Totterings grapple with the new order of social media, mindfulness and ‘me-time’, while continuing to hold out for meat, two veg and Chianti, over tahini, tofu and kombucha.

Twilight Years with the Totterings is perfect for anyone who is on the wrong side of fifty.

A compassionate, fact-based examination of the incredibly complex and extraordinarily divisive issue of too many horses, not enough homes.

‘Unwanted: The Causes and Effects of America's Horse Population Crisis’ by Christina Keim

Any horse, but for a change of circumstances, can become unwanted.

The unwanted are racetrack rejects, excess ranch stock, foals that did not live up to their breeder’s expectations. They are aged Amish cart horses, horses with chronic lameness issues, the pony a child outgrew. They are show horses, pleasure horses, the pretty horses and the plain. They come in all colors, sizes, and shapes.

Unwanted asks all of us to examine our unconscious and deeply held beliefs about horses, while suggesting ways to better understand how that perspective shapes our opinion about how they—and other non-human animals—should be treated. For there to be hope for a restorative and harmonious solution to the unwanted horse crisis, Keim professes, we must be ready to come to the table well informed, open-minded, and prepared to work for the horse’s best interests, rather than our own.
