Truely a GREAT horseman book. Very hard core charactors & believable storyline. I love all of Jilly Cooper's horse novels. Reading this book ALMOST made me want to try Polo....I did look-up our local Polo Association.
Bookseller was AWESOME! The book came almost before I caould turn around after ordering. Great condition of the book, too. A really AWESOME transaction all the way around.

Loved It
I loved this book so so much. I read this a couple of years ago and now I read it atleast 5 times a year. It's one of those books thats hard to put down. My Dad recommended this book to me and I would recommend it to anyone that asks for a good book.

Best sequel to Riders
I was disappointed in Rivals as a sequel to Riders, but Polo is back on point. Grab a cool beverage and get back to the beach with Polo. Hopefully there will be another in the series!
