A Sportsman of Limited Income collects fifty years of country living, hunting adventures, and hard‑won practical wisdom.

This edition presents the author’s firsthand memories of farming, horse breeding, and a life shaped by the pleasures and pitfalls of sport.

From the Wheatland countryside to bustling market towns, the book follows a man who loves sport but lives with limited means. You’ll read about careful breeding, long days training young horses, and the small, patient choices that can decide a fortune in a rough, working world. Along the way, dramatic episodes—such as exchanges over stud prospects, the quirks of notable breeders, and the humor and hardship of rural life—reveal how sport intersects with family, finances, and ambition.

Reflections on the role of sport in a frugal life, including the balance between enjoyment and responsibility.
Moments of humor, memory, and personal philosophy that emerge from decades of field and stable.
