Join him as he looks back on a weird and wonderful journey as a showjumper and champion racer. As you’ll see inside, it hasn’t all been plain sailing. From battles with a blacksmith and an unruly jockey, to rival racers and the challenging showjumping course itself, ‘Old’ Bertie’s is a life well lived.In accordance with the wishes of Tom's family, 10% of all profits from this book will be donated to the British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre in Lancaster to support the welfare of retired racehorses just like Bertie.
