The Committee of All The Queen’s Horses, the phenomenally successful first event in the celebration of HM The Queen’s Golden Jubilee, has announced that it has given £114,000 to ten charities.

The charities that have benefited are:-

The Pony Club

The International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH)

Riding for the Disabled (RDA) and Driving for the Disabled

The Home of Rest for Horses

Rehabilitation of Racehorses

Side Saddle Association

Horse Rangers

St. George’s School

Windsor and Eton Choral Society

Police Rehabilitation Centre

The charities were all selected by the Committee because of their close association to participants in the show.

The spectacular, celebratory equestrian extravaganza was held on three successive evenings at Royal Windsor Horse Show from 15-17 May 2002. The show involved a cast of 2,000 people, 1,000 horses and included a re-enactment of the Coronation Procession with the Gold State Coach.

The show was subsequently screened on BBC ONE and nearly one third of the nation’s TV audience tuned in to watch the highlights.
