Horse Lovers Central discussion

Sign up to the challenge where it is shown at the top of the discussions. You will be asked which shelf the books to read are on. If you say horse and you do not have a horse bookshelf, Goodreads will put one in to your personal list of shelves. I chose horse fact.
When you complete a read and place it on that shelf Goodreads sees the progress.

Now the challenge registers that you have read some of the books.

You might decide to name it challenge shelf so it would be used for challenges in any other Group too.
Tell us your titles in this thread.

For winter we are reading memoirs.


I recently read this one and can brush up again for the challenge if needed.

I have this one on my Kindle to read.

We allow donkeys and mules! But you might want to keep these for a donkey challenge in the future.




Just a few suggestions from my own shelves.

Author Hilary Walker

is giving away a memoir called First Catch Your Horse: The Autobiography of an Awful Rider with Aspirations

This is under 80 pages so you can easily fit it in this year. To get the book you will need to join Hilary's newsletter list, but she is a dedicated horse lover and only mails once a month.

Who could resist?

How do I suggest my book, The Best That Can Happen: The Grand Trek, for this challenge? It's a memoir about when I decided to ride from coast to coast?

The Best That Can Happen: The Grand Trek


Thanks very much for mentioning this suitable book, and I'll suggest it for you. Sounds exciting!

I've set up a Goodreads promo on my website - 50% off for Goodreads members through Jan 31 2021! https://www.thegrandtrek. Print, ebook and audiobook. Large Print version by request. Enter promo code Goodreads50% at checkout.

This is a good idea, and you might want to repeat it in the Promotions folder for better visibility.

I just finished reading The Horses of Second Wind Farm: Their Lives - Our Lessons

Lovely book, gorgeous photos.

I'm currently reading

Sounds like we could learn a lot from that one! Thanks for mentioning it, I hope you enjoy the read.

I'm just finished reading Goodbye Old Friend: A Sad Farewell to the Working Horse. Simon Butler

which included several excerpts from memoirs along with the history and photographs.

To finish up my challenge in a day I picked First Catch Your Horse: The Autobiography of an Awful Rider with Aspirations and I have just spent a happy Sunday morning reading about other people's problem buys, which the Germans call scheudenfreude.

Yes, I can recommend this one.

Any thoughts on a challenge for Spring?
Maybe a book with a foal in the story?
