Horse People

Scenes from the Riding Life

By: Michael Korda

Narrated by: Julian Elfer

Best-selling author Michael Korda's Horse People is the story - sometimes hilariously funny, sometimes sad and moving, always shrewdly observed - of a lifetime love affair with horses, and of the bonds that have linked humans with horses for more than 10,000 years. It is filled with intimate portraits of the kind of people, rich or poor, Eastern or Western, famous or humble, whose lives continue to revolve around the horse.

Korda is a terrific storyteller, and his book is intensely personal and seductive, a joy for everyone who loves horses. Even those who have never ridden will be happy to saddle up and follow him through the world of horses, horse people, and the riding life.

Loved the humor!

Horses and the horse world and the humans involved.
Loved the narrator as well as the stories told in a manner that I enjoyed learning about the horse world that is not so familiar to me and laughed about the stories where I can see myself.

Loved it 100%

Honest, insightful, interesting and entertaining. Almost mirrored my own experience except that is the life I wanted and didn’t quite achieve it. Never the less I got it now by reading this book.

It was like listening to a story about my life

I Love love love everything about this book. It was a fun and 100% accurate depiction of the world of horse people.

good yarn for nag lovers

British in tone, from the lifestyle of those a cut above. definitely of interest to those familiar with things equine. not hilarious but wryly humorous, sometimes poignant. good descriptions.

So much fun!

Being a horse person I so enjoyed this book. Read it years ago and listened to it this time. Great both ways
