“The Royal Windsor Horse Show will continue today as per the published timetable, with the omission of The King\u2019s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery display.”<\/p>\n
An Army spokesperson said: “It is with deep regret that we announce a member of The King\u2019s Troop Royal Horse Artillery died on Friday May 15, following a tragic incident at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.<\/p>\n
“The family has been notified, and our thoughts are with them at this sad and difficult time.”<\/p>\n
The Royal Windsor Horse Show was first staged in 1943 to help raise funds for the Second World War effort.<\/p>\n
The inaugural show was attended by members of the royal family including King George VI, Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) and the then-young princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret.<\/p>\n
The late Queen Elizabeth II was a passionate fan of the equestrian event and entered many homebred horses and ponies in classes at the show, which takes place annually at the private grounds of Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n
The event is the only show in the UK to host international competitions in show jumping, dressage, driving, and endurance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
