The Royal Windsor Horse Show - 2004   

The Royal Windsor Horse Show 2004 proved to be as exciting and successful as ever in its fabulous setting beneath Windsor Castle, which is floodlit for the evening sessions.

Events this year included the Land Rover International Carriage Driving Grand Prix, world-class Show Jumping in this Olympic year, Military competitions, The Lusitanos from Portugal, Pony Club 75th Anniversary celebration events, as well as Monty Roberts, The Horse Whisperer in action every day. As always there were Fireworks on the last night, plus of course the magnificent Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, in our view one of the finest and most exciting military displays imaginable.

Editor's Note

Windsorians were delighted to hear that the Musical Ride of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery was reinstated at the Horse Show in 2003. Due to the war in Iraq, the display had been withdrawn but, in its 60th year, the Horse Show really did deserve this spectacular display.

Royal Windsor takes flight for
Wings for Victory

Royal Windsor Horse Show 14th ­ 18th May 2003 celebrates its 60th birthday this year and will be marking the occasion with a spectacular recreation of the first ever show held in 1943 as part of 'Wings for Victory', the innovative and successful World War II, national fund raising initiative.
  A firm favourite amongst both competitors and spectators, Royal Windsor Horse Show heralds the official start of Britain's outdoor show season and is the Henley of the horse world. In 2002, the show staged the first of the Golden Jubilee Celebrations, the hit show 'All The Queen's Horses'. This year's highlight will be the daily staging of the 'Wings for Victory' extravaganza, celebrating the enormous efforts made by the Windsor region in 1943 to raise money for desperately needed fighter planes for World War II. Directed by Sir Michael Parker, Wings for Victory will include aerial displays, a celebration of the horse's vital role in World War II, both land and air contributions from the RAF.
  Royal Windsor Horse Show will also capture the atmosphere of the 1940's, while bringing together the largest number of showing classes held at a single venue, including the prestigious British Isles Showing Championships, international carriage driving, in which HRH The Duke of Edinburgh has been a regular competitor, as well as top class show jumping, sensational shopping and fine foods.
