Author Biography

Chris Dyer has spent most of his life around horses. Described by one of his friends as "the man that doesn't fit in" he is never afraid to voice an opinion regardless of the consequences. Disparaging of bureaucracy and unpredictable - the probable cause of "not fitting in!" He has without credit worked on many horses from unknown ponies to well-known racehorses without bothering to attention seek. He has trained Arabian racehorses and pre trained thoroughbreds. His knowledge and occasionally his opinions are evident as he weaves his tale around the books characters. A man of extremes Chris is either irritatingly happy or manically depressed (though more often than not the former). To describe Chris is almost impossible - he is a bit like pulling a Christmas Cracker... you never quite know what you will find on the inside! A close friend.
