Royal Windsor Horse Show 2007

10th – 13th May 2007

Located in the private gardens and parkland of Windsor Castle, the Royal Windsor Horse Show incorporates much from the sport. From the exciting Land Rover Carriage Driving Grand Prix, national and international Show Jumping competitions, dressage and polo to extensive showing classes and enthralling equestrian displays, it is unique in its breadth of appeal.

Count Robert Orssich and Mr Geoffrey Cross founded the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1943. Inspired by the ‘Wings for Victory’ campaign, they set about organising a Horse and Dog Show to raise money for the war effort.

The Queen, has always been a keen horsewoman and at the first show, she won the Pony and Dogcart class. Since then Her Majesty has entered many homebred horses and ponies in classes at the show.

Set in Her Majesty The Queen’s Home Park, against the magnificent backdrop of Windsor Castle, there can hardly be a more prestigious atmosphere for this, Britain’s largest outdoor equestrian show.
