Summary
My Animals and Other Family: A Memoir of Life, Love, and the Balding Pack
Clare Balding’s childhood wasn’t your average family affair. Alongside her brother, mother, and champion-trainer father, her life was overflowing with racehorses, mares, foals, ponies, and a lively pack of boxers and lurchers.
In this heartwarming memoir, Balding reveals how these animals and her unique family taught her invaluable lessons about life, love, joy, and navigating the inevitable moments of sadness.
