There's a Val McDermid and a Dick Francis lower down the order
Against the Odds
Leaving home to work in a racing stable, Sian finds that the long hours and
hard work are more than she bargained for. The only compensation is her responsibility
for her favourite filly, Double Jump.Sian is badly treated by her boyfriend, the trainer's arrogant son, Justin. When Double Jump's owner moves the filly to another yard, Sian decides to follow so she can escape him.
At the new yard she meets stable jockey Madoc Owen, who is battling to make a National Hunt winner out of Cymru, a bored flat-race stallion. Sian and Madoc may have a future together but there will be more than steeplechase fences in their way – Justin will see to that.

Scratch
A Woman. A Family. A Farm.
Sian and Madoc have borrowed heavily to buy a neglected farm, Stone Side,
in the beautiful countryside of east Cumbria. They are land-rich now but short
of cash and indebted not only to the bank but to members of their family.Racehorses and Fell Ponies
In this sequel to Against the Odds Madoc has reluctantly had to give up his ambition to breed thoroughbreds, and instead runs the sheep farm and pre-trains young horses for National Hunt racing. Sian is a fierce mother of their three teenage children, Robbie, Cerys and Jack, but in what free time she has, she buys and trains Fell ponies.Although it will be a long haul before Stone Side begins to pay, with the children growing up and helping it looks like it just might work. But...
Someone is Out to Destroy Them
When Madoc’s brother calls-in a big loan, the tensions begin to mount… and on the wild fellside, for someone the stakes are as high as murder.http://www.jackdawebooks.co.uk/scratch.htm
