About This Book

An alphabetical sequence of short, rhymed vignettes that playfully catalog the people, places, and mishaps of drag hunting and field-sport society. Each letter supplies a character, object, or situation and sketches comic incidents, riding challenges, social rituals, costs, and camaraderie. The verses blend sporting jargon with light satire of equestrian pride, accidents, fashions, and expenses, often closing with wry observations about the season and convivial afters. Recurring types and illustrated notes create a lively social portrait of meets, kennels, stables, and the amateur riders who take part.
