A Sunday Rider

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.

Finally a good book on an often overlooked sport which

Finally a good book on an often overlooked sports which deserves to be written about with the care that Vicky Moon has provided in these pages. The book has covered not just the riders and the trainers, but the grooms who work so hard. I loved the stories about the carrot man. It brings together the glamor, the glitz and yes, also the darker side. The first book to really tell it like it really is.

Insightful, Fun Look at the World of Horses

Vicky Moon brings out her stinging but fun writing style again in "A Sunday Horse," a behind-the-scenes look at the world of the Grand Prix Circuit. With the Olympics coming up, this book was an especially interesting read, and I look forward to watching the Olympic Equestrian events with Vicky Moon's book next to me. Her writing style combines the humor of "Best in Show" with a genuine love and appreciation of horses and the horse world.
