Jump in and join this amazing group for classical principles and equestrian insights! In 2025, our book club focuses on a range of topics to enhance our knowledge through bi-monthly book reads chosen from our participants’ suggestions and votes. We’ll host six engaging livestream discussions where we summarize the books as well as feature additional guest lectures from prominent equestrian authors and influencers. We’ve chosen six books (one book every two months, with a guest speaker/author on the off months) so that we have plenty of time to relax and read without stressful deadlines.
We explore horsemanship across disciplines and countries with carefully selected books covering fundamentals, natural horsemanship, equine science, classical dressage perspectives, movement for longevity, historical insights, and more. Q&A are embedded live as well as follow each discussion.
Sip your favorite beverage during our lively online events. We’ll share mixology recipes and invite you to do the same. If time is tight, no worries, you are always welcome. Join the conversation anytime and enjoy proprietary summaries and slides provided for you to follow along live or peruse at your convenience. Recordings will be available for any-time playback if you can’t make a live broadcast and stay available posted in the group.
Annual subscription: $95.00.
A Facebook account is required for private group access. Upon signing up via Paypal, you will receive a welcome email with instructions on how to join the private group.
Partnering with Xenophon Press, we offer a 10% book discount on our book club books, and most other books site-wide!
This group has turned into so much more than we could have imagined – dedicated horsemen and women that are interested in learning more for the welfare, longevity and success of their horses. We could not be more proud of those who have chosen to up their horsemanship bar with us – we know our love of horses will always be a lifetime journey and hope you will join us. We are also having so much FUN!
Dates will be published shortly, and please hold off (for now) on buying your books as we will be sending you your discount code from our partner Xenophon Press – simply the BEST quality equestrian publisher.
Each Books & Bourbon Equestrian Club session will start at 8pm EST (7pm CST) on the dates indicated below.
If you have questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out via email or post to the 2025 Private Facebook group.
