Summary

Puffin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Racehorse Who Wouldn't Gallop, written and read by Clare Balding.

Charlie Bass is a horse-mad nine-year-old who dreams of owning her own pony. So when her eccentric parents announce that they are going to buy a racehorse, Charlie is thrilled.

The horse they buy, Noble Warrior, looks the part: strong, fit and healthy. There's just one problem - he won't gallop. In fact he won't even trot round the field without his best friend, Percy, a naughty palomino pony, at his side. But Charlie is convinced that Noble Warrior has what it takes to be a champion - he just needs the right motivation....

A classic, funny animal story perfect for fans of Dick King-Smith and My Family and Other Animals.

The hart warming story of how the bass family needed noble warrior as much as he needed them.

I love the entire book, and there is nothing that I disliked about it! All of the characters had their own characteristics and were really well thought out. it had a really good overall ending, and I will recommend it for ages 3+ amazing book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
