Charlie’s racehorse has certainly earned the name Noble Warrior: he won the Derby against all odds and bested a bunch of nasty kidnappers. But now Noddy is facing his greatest challenge yet . . .

Charlie’s best friend Polly is still recovering from an accident that left her almost paralysed. But Polly has a real talent with horses – and she and Charlie are determined not to let it go to waste. Can the two best friends find a way to make Polly’s equestrian dreams come true, and forge a new path for the racehorse who wouldn’t gallop?

Noble Warrior and Percy were both really fun horse characters because they were so different to each other.

It was very sweet and confidently shows anything is possible and everyone can do what they believe in they just have to be ready.

I loved this book because the characters are fictional but some of the things in the book were real. I also liked it because it was written by a good rider it helped me with my own riding.

This book is funny because Harry and Larry are trying to make chickens dance! Although it is very interesting to try and teach a horse to dance. The character in this book which is like me is Charlie. I would recommend this book to people who like horses.

This was a great book about the fact that everybody does not have to be perfect and if you have a disability you can do as much as other people and you don’t need to hate yourself or how you look! Enjoy!

I liked Polly because she was so confident on the horse and I also like Charlie riding the fat pony. I also like how Polly won the race. I would recommend it to anyone who likes riding or horses.

I didn't really like this book because it wasn't that exciting. I would have liked it more if there were more horses and more different characters in it.

This was great I love this because it helped me learn more about horses and also was very exciting because it was about two very annoying Brothers that Teased the main character and her horse but in the end it was fine

It is so funny!It would help if you read the first two so that you get it.The message is amazing“You can still do things even if you are disabled”or as Charlie puts it “diffabled”

I loved Polly because just cause she had an accident that didn’t mean that she would give up horse riding. Polly’s mum and dad were really worried about her but Polly’s friend Charlie was always by her side even when she was really unsure.

I like polly best because she never gives up and keeps going. I would recommend this book to any one who likes racehorses and likes watching it too. I would also recommend it to any one who wants a short but exciting read.
