Event director Simon Brooks-Ward said: “We are responding to the growing popularity of Showing by providing classes that have become increasingly popular. We have listened to experts and re-engaged the Orsicch Committee to advise us. I am pleased to announce that it will include Nigel Hollings and Carol Gilbert-Scott. They will keep us abreast of the latest Showing trends to ensure we are at the forefront of the Showing world.”
Now the timetable has been confirmed, for the second year running Royal Windsor Horse Show entries can be completed online. Last year’s pilot was a tremendous success, with over 45% of entries being made this way. This year, as before, competitors will be able to enter and pay for most classes held at Royal Windsor, as well as book stabling, organise passes and book additional tickets.
