Patrick Robinson’s Horsetrader invites readers into the high-stakes world of a professional horse dealer, blending biography, sport and a dash of gambling grit. First published in 1993, this illustrated HarperCollins hardback captures the adrenaline of the paddock and the shrewd deals that follow a gallop.

The 340-page narrative follows a shrewd horse trader whose sixth sense for bloodstock turns rural auctions into profit and peril. Robinson’s journalistic pace and eye for detail make the book a standout among modern equestrian biographies and true-life sports stories.

This first edition keeps its original dust jacket and remains clean and tight; only light foxing touches the top page edges and a couple of margins—common for a vintage volume from a smoke-free home. No inscriptions, dog-ears or ex-library marks, so it presents handsomely on shelf or bedside table.

Collectors of antiquarian sports memoirs, horse-lovers and fans of outdoor adventure will snap up this scarce 1993 Harper first printing while it lasts.
