Thank you for signing up for the ten-part audio series Churchill’s Other Lives by Sir David Cannadine.

Episode 9 – Horses

Winston Churchill took part in Britain’s last major cavalry charge at Omdurman and had a passion for polo, hunting, and racing, which brought him into friendly competition with the Queen later in his life. From cavalry officer to race horse breeder, historian Sir David Cannadine explores Churchill’s sentimental connection to the horse as a symbol of the fast disappearing, aristocratic world he so strongly believed in.
