Bob Champions - very old but worth reading if you can get it and Jenny Pitmans was a great insight - you can see where her novels came from!

I liked Pippa's one!

 

[lisaward]

do you know when the next novel of hers is coming out ??

Lucinda Green's were good, and I'm half way through William Fox-Pitt's and enjoying it - it's a very horsey read iykwim, light on gossip, heavy on horse trials LOL.
I seem to recall from days of yore Pat Smythe's was brilliant (you at the back -yes, you, the one who said 'Who the hell was he?' you can stay in at break for your cheek) And Marion Mould's about Stroller, if you're into antiques.

Not an autobiography as such but a fantastic book all the same:

i thought Pippa Funnell's was excellent - but she used to be my fave rider (i have a few now)

i am half way though 2 different autobiographys now -
William Fox-Pitt's and Zara Phillips'

does lucinda green have an autobiography? would love to read it if she does

Lucinda Green wrote "Up up and Away" about Be Fair and "Four Square" about some other horses. You might have to hunt around for them - think they are out of print. I found them in a secondhand shop. Up up and Away is very good and there's that photo of her jumping the scariest fence ever at Kiev.

A really really old one and you'll probably struggle to find a copy, but I love Pat Smythe's 'Jump for Joy'

Another oldie - 'Ginny' -Virginia Holgate/Leng's autobiography is a good read. It is probably hard to get now though as it was published in the 1980's.
