1960~KIT HUNTER SHOW JUMPER in RIVAL RIDERS~Peter Grey~HORSE RIDING STORY~HB/DJ.

Description: A horse-riding and show-jumping story in the Kit Hunter series by the English author and fiction editor of 'Girl' magazine, Peter Grey (1918 - ?). From the dust-jacket notes: - "Firmly established as a champion horsewoman, Kit Hunter, with her friend Mary Trent, plans a tour of Europe, to enter show-jumping contests, and build up the prestige of Colonel Hamden's Moor Grange Stables. Travelling in a super-caravan the trio meet many difficulties, and Kit finds herself up against a formidable rival in a young French rider, Francoise Dubois. Francoise is as unscrupulous as she is skilful, and but for Pierre Latour, another young rider, the team would have been stranded through her scheming. Pierre takes them all to his family home, a beautiful chateau near a small town which Pierre hopes will be chosen as the location of an important horse show. Despite the holiday atmosphere Kit realises that her rival, Francoise, is involved in a plot to get the show located at a rival town. Kit's triumph in a tense show-jumping contest brings her rival's plans to nothing."
