Biography & Memoir Sport & Recreation
Patrick Robinson’s Horsetrader gallops into the rough-and-tumble world of a professional horse trader, a first-edition hardcover from 1993 that’s become a sought-after piece of modern equestrian biography. Tight, 340-page narrative follows high-stakes deals, racetrack gambles and the quiet bond between horse and handler, giving animal lovers and business-story fans plenty to chew on.
This illustrated HarperCollins release arrives with its original dust jacket and all the tactile charm vintage nonfiction collectors enjoy. A Young Adult–friendly voice keeps the pace lively, while Robinson’s eye for detail roots the memoir firmly in countryside trading culture and the pulse of British horseracing circuits.
The copy is in good shape overall; you’ll spot light foxing on the top page edge and a touch more at the margin of two leaves, nothing that interrupts reading. Shelf presence remains strong, making it an appealing gift for riders, entrepreneurs or anyone hunting a nostalgic ride through equine commerce.
