Horse Story

RADIO 4, 1.45PM

 Clare Balding may be a presenter of any number of sporting events, most recently the Winter Olympics, but her first passion is clearly for all things equestrian. In a five-part series airing every afternoon this week, she tells the story of the history of the relationship between the human and the equine. Today’s opener is about how horses have been trained to be stars of stage and screen, and meets professional acting horse Prince, who has appeared in Wonder Woman, The Crown, and Game of Thrones.
