Clare Balding's brilliant third adventure for Charlie Bass and her friends - both human and horse!
When she was young, Clare Balding thought she was a dog.
Disappointed to discover she was only human, she did her best to
spend every waking hour with dogs and ponies. She could ride before
she could walk and, growing up surrounded by racehorses trained by
her father, she dreamt of winning the Grand National or riding for
Great Britain at the Olympics.
Those dreams never came true but the consolation prize hasn't been
bad. As a television and radio presenter, Clare has worked at six
Olympic Games, the highlight being London 2012, as well as the
Winter Olympics, Paralympics, Commonwealth Games, the Grand
National, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon and the Ryder Cup.
Clare lives in London with her wife, Alice, and their very naughty
dog, Archie.
