Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 12mo. Modern Men of Action Series. Full red cloth. 191 pp. Light bumping to spine ends and corners, else fine. Dust jacket is price clipped, chipped at head, short tears to head and foot of rear, small perforation to spine. This is the story of a man who came out of the Second World War with a longing to combine his life as a solider with the activities of which he had dreamed and had been deprived during the war years. "Monkey" Blacker has won many of the highest awards which the show-jumping world has to offer and has achieved great success as a top-ranking horseman. Thus, a famous rider became an athlete, a painter, and a journalist by turns, and in each role he succeeded by dint of hard work and determination - and more than a little genius - in acquitting himself as well as he had already done in the military and equestrian spheres.
Showjumping autobiography by the champion rider, whose horse Workboy had been one of the finest steeple-chasers in the country before becoming his mount in the Great Britain team during the 1950s, with line illustrations. 8vo. 192pp. Dust-wrapper. Creases and tears to wrapper, otherwise good condition.
