Andrew Balding

Andrew Matthews Balding (born 29 December 1972) is a British racehorse trainer based at Park House Stables, Kingsclere, Hampshire.

Balding attended Caldicott School, a boys' preparatory school, and Radley College, a public school. He became a licensed trainer in January 2003, when he succeeded his father Ian Balding.

His elder sister is Clare Balding. His maternal grandfather was the trainer Peter Hastings-Bass and his maternal uncle William Hastings-Bass, 17th Earl of Huntingdon, former trainer to Queen Elizabeth II. His maternal grandmother Priscilla Hastings is descended from the Earls of Derby. His paternal grandfather was polo player Gerald Barnard Balding Sr.

Balding has been married to Anna-Lisa since 15 July 2005. They have three children.

Notable horses trained by Balding include Casual Look, the winner of the Epsom Oaks in 2003. The win led to an emotional post-race interview with his sister.

In 2014, the Baldings' Park House Stables were visited by Irish president Michael D. Higgins as part of his state visit to the UK. The Baldings were invited to ride in the King's procession at Royal Ascot 2023.
