The Sporting Horse; In Pursuit of Equine Excellence

Author: Nicola Swinney & Bob Languish

Recommended Reading age: 12+

Hardback Edition with Dust Jacket, 224 pages


Horses are truly remarkable creatures, displaying grace and poise as they execute the intricate movements of dressage, galloping like the wind at speeds of over 30 miles per hour, and gracefully soaring over daunting competition fences. From diverse terrains to various sporting events, these incredible athletes possess natural agility, strength, and intelligence. As riders, we rely on our horses to deliver exceptional performances in competition.

In The Sporting Horse, authors Nicola Swinney and Bob Langrish beautifully showcase the extraordinary bond between man and horse as they work together in the sporting world. With a deep understanding of athleticism, speed, agility, and endurance, this book delves into the centuries of selective breeding and training that have honed the horse's natural abilities in a wide range of sporting pursuits. From elegant dressage to thrilling polo matches, from snow sports to carriage driving, steeplechases to barrel racing, the undeniable synergy between horse and rider is truly unparalleled.

Customer Review

"highly recommended. This woman is amazing she made my daughters saddle pad and it's to perfection we could not be happier thank you so much"

Who are we?

Founded in 2019 we are a family run boutique saddlery based in rural NSW Australia specialising in gear for kids and their ponies. After scouring the internet looking for Jodphrus for our own daughter and then being unable to source nice saddle pads small enough for her pony we discovered we weren't alone in our frustration and so Penelope Claire Ponywear was born. Our aim is to provide a hub where parents of equestrian kids can find everything their child may need on their riding journey from clothing to saddlery.
