An Army spokesperson said: \u201cIt 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
\u201cThe family has been notified, and our thoughts are with them at this sad and difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference number 521 of today, make a report on the force\u2019s website or speak to an officer at the show.<\/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 two young princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret.<\/p>\n
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
