The Racehorse Who Wouldn't Gallop (Charlie Bass) Hardcover – 22 Sept. 2016

My 7 year old daughter and I love this highly clever, funny and moving story. We now almost know the words by heart. We also love Clare Balding actually reading it to us. We cannot wait for the sequel. A perfect present for your friends, or just for yourself.

This is such a beautiful book, my husband and I read it to our 6 (who also helped us read it) and 3 year old, horse mad girls. We all loved it, It genuinely made me emotional. Claire Balding has written a great book, a book with a strong message of hard work and family. I was genuinely sad when it ended!

WHAT AN AMZING BOOK!!!!!! Clare what a talented author! such a thriller and enjoyable for all ages!! must buy makes brilliant present

My daughter (13) wanted this as she loves horses - she said it was a great read, and wants to know what else Clare has written

8 yr old granddaughter loves this book. She now wants the sequel for Xmas, amongst other horsey things.

A very good read thoroughly enjoyed it - although written as a children's book I think every adult involved with horses should read it.

A gem of a kids book. Literally, outstanding in the field of modern writers for kids. Empowering, witty, sincere, well-paced and with an excellent moral compass; Claire Balding is somewhat of a hero in my house now!

Thoroughly enjoyable book my granddaughter said. Her Mummy is a dressage rider so this book was right up her street. Written by a horse lover for horse lovers.
