All
The Queen’s Horses donates £114,000 to Charity
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. .
