TV presenter and author Clare Balding will be coming to Woodley this afternoon.
The award-winning broadcaster will be signing copies of her new children’s book, The Racehorse Who Wouldn’t Gallop, at Chapter One Bookshop in Woodley precinct from 4pm today (Tuesday).
Perfect for fans of Dick King-Smith and Gerald Durrell, The Racehorse Who Wouldn’t Gallop tells the story of horse-mad 10-year-old Charlie Bass, who accidentally buys a racehorse, Noble Warrior. Strong, fit and healthy, the horse seems to be the perfect competitor except for one problem: he won’t gallop. In fact, he won’t even leave his stable without his best friend, a naughty palomino pony called Percy.
Charlie is convinced that Noble Warrior has what it takes to be a champion. But can she prove it? Derby Day is fast approaching and only a win can save the family farm from being repossessed.
The stakes couldn’t be higher for the Basses. Can Charlie turn her chaotic family into a top training team? Can Noble Warrior overcome his nerves? Will Percy the pony ever stop farting?
Join Clare at Chapter One Bookshop in Woodley from 4pm today.
