Royal Windsor Horse Show is a spring highlight, with top-class equestrian competition in jumping, driving and showing, and a range of shops and restaurants where visitors can enjoy the best of the English countryside – all set within the private grounds of Windsor Castle.
Visitors attending on Friday 16 May can enjoy a wonderful range of showing classes taking place across all four arenas. Don’t miss the LeMieux hunter championship in the iconic Castle Arena, as well as numerous mountain & moorland in-hand classes in the New Horizon Plastics Copper Horse Arena and the Adelaide Arena. And this is your chance to experience the only class of its kind in the UK, the best polo pony class, sponsored by Guards Polo Club in the Frogmore Arena.
If showjumping is your preferred discipline, then you can catch the first of the FEI five-star jumping classes of the week, kicking off with The CSI5* Pearl Stakes and later The CSI5* Defender Stakes, both in the Castle Arena. British riders entered for the international classes include Ben Maher, Scott Brash, Harry Charles, Joe Stockdale, John Whitaker, Jack Whitaker and Matt Sampson among others.
Wonderful equestrian displays take place each day of the show, so you can experience the Defender Shetland Pony Grand National, Azerbaijan – Land of Fire, the DAKS Pony Club Mounted Games, Oman – Jewel Of Arabia and the ever-impressive Musical Drive of The King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery.
