Set in the grounds of Windsor Castle, The Royal Windsor
Horse Show is a quintessentially British event on a truly
international scale. It is the UK’s largest outdoor show and
features international competitions in four different
equestrian disciplines. It also encompasses military displays
involving The King’s Troop and The Household Cavalry, as
well as various other regiments from the British Army, Navy
and Air Force. Visiting troupes have also participated,
including the legendary French Foreign Legion.
The Queen alternates her more formal duties in the Royal
Box of the temporary arena with informal visits to members
of the regiments, as well as inspections. She is also to be
seen walking between the many different events that are
spread throughout the grounds of the castle – her ‘backyard’.
Leading British photographers Anderson & Low look behind
the scenes during this very special week of events, to reveal
the remarkably informal and intimate relationship between participants, horse-breeders, support staff and the general
public. The resultant images present a superb kaleidoscope of portraits – intimate, truthful character studies of the
participants, and of the uniquely magical setting in which this annual pageant unfolds.
