My boyfriend’s mum bought me this for my birthday. Since she is non-horsey I was so touched that she got something SO perfect for me – Thanks Sam!
I saw a demo from Charlotte at Your Horse Live four years ago and found her disappointingly flat. I judged her from that moment but since reading her book I have done a 180.
She’s not a trained public speaker, she’s not an actress or a presenter, she’s just an incredibly talented and hardworking rider who has found herself thrust into ‘celebrity’ status. In her book she makes it clear how hard she has found this side of things.
The book follows her journey from riding show ponies, through her parents sacrificing owning their own house to keep their children’s horsey dreams going and to teaming up with Carl and Valegro. She shares how her dedication to her career affected her relationships and as you read it, you live each success and challenge with her. By the end of the book you feel like you know her personally.
If you need some inspiration to boost your riding ambition and to help you believe that it IS possible or are just intrigued to know more about Charlotte and her dancing horse(s) I highly recommend you give this a read.
