The Racehorse Who Learned to Dance




Clare Balding's brilliant third adventure for Charlie Bass and her friends - both human and horse!

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Racehorse Who Learned to Dance written and read by Clare Balding.

Charlie's racehorse has certainly earned the name Noble Warrior: he won the Derby against all odds and bested a bunch of nasty kidnappers. But now Noddy is facing his greatest challenge yet . . .

Charlie's best friend Polly is still recovering from an accident that left her almost paralysed. But Polly has a real talent with horses - and she and Charlie are determined not to let it go to waste.

Can the two best friends find a way to make Polly's equestrian dreams come true, and forge a new path for the racehorse who wouldn't gallop?
