Patty got up to peer into the refrigerator. Honey, don't look so guilty, she said. Men are like horses. If they're even-tempered and sweet, you stay on for the ride. If they buck and run around, you... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

Love, love, and tons of laughs!

I absolutely loved this book! I shared it with my other horsey friends and they got a total kick out of it! Beautiful horses, tons of truth about men and great storyline! Fantastic story, and I wish there were more books out there like this!

Hysterical Horse People

This is one of the most hysterical books I've ever read. I thought it was so funny I had to e-mail the author to tell her what great laughs she had given me. (She has another book coming out in June.)My husband read it first, on an airplane, and I was reading over his shoulder and we were hooting out loud. We are trail-riding horse people, but not dressage riders. If you know anything about horses at all,whatever your "discipline," and the people who surround them, you will appreciate this book. I have ordered numerous copies for Christmas presents for all my friends for next year.

You'll whinny & snort!

This is a fabulous book written by an author that I hope writes many more horsey novels! If you're a woman who has stood in a barn, just inhaling the smells of horse sweat & manure---and smiled with glee--you will definitely find yourself grinning, cheering, and laughing out loud at the delightful characters & plot twists & turns. It taps into the woman's psyche ( & all the cattiness we live in) so beautifully and tells a sweet story of romance & good friendship to boot.

Why Women Love Horses: The Answer's Here

For anyone who has ever loved horses, or wondered why it is women love horses, HORSEPLAY is a must read. Judy Singer's style is fresh and new, and so funny that at times I had tears running down my face. The characters brought back my own not-so-distant stable days, when horses and trainers and competitive riders (and nasty Jack Russell terriers!) in a dusty barn made up the only world that mattered. Especially enjoyable are the relationships between the women and the closeness they develop over time. A German horsetrainer everyone fears and adores, the three Helgas, the phony tea-leaf-reading countess, and of course, the horses, make this world dimensional and real. And I have to say again--the Jack Russell terriers--she got them so right! There's some romance here, but what I loved the most was the women. Hurry up and write another book, Judy!

Loved It!

This book is a quick read which is disappointing because you will want the book to go on and on. It's funny and the dialogue is witty. It will make you laugh and cry. It's everything a book should be. I only hope Ms. Singer writes a sequel.

excellent horsey farce

This novel is smart, funny and a wonderful light read. I think of it as farce because some of the events that happen are somewhat unlikely, but the setting and the horse activities are very realistic. I enjoyed the various relationships between the women and the very sharp dialog. You don't have to be a horse lover to appreciate it, but anyone who likes horses or Jack Russell Terriers absolutely should read this book.
