Royal Windsor Horse Show

The Royal Windsor Horse Show is a major equestrian and family event at Windsor since its inception in 1943. The show was founded by Count Robert Orssich and Mr. Geoffrey Cross and was known at that time as The Windsor Horse and Dog Show. It  was held under the patronage of George VI and Queen Elizabeth and the two princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret. The Royal Windsor Horse Show takes place in the middle of May and has grown substantially in size and importance at least because of its wonderful setting beneath the walls of Windsor Castle. The Horse Show also enjoys the support of the royal family and of course world class competitors can be expected each year. HM The Queen is a regular visitor and enthusiastic supporter. HRH Princess Haya is the Vice-President of the Royal Windsor Horse Show. www.royal-windsor-horse-show.co.uk/Default.asp
