The ten entries across the two classes in the coaching marathon - three in the road coaches and seven in the private drags - enjoyed a dry and sunny drive through the Home Park before delighting a full crowd in the Castle Arena at Royal Windsor Horse Show. Judge from USA, Bob Longstaff found his champion in John Brown and his team of bay and grey Dutch warmbreds put to his original Shanks built Tally Ho Road Coach. This is their sixth successive year of taking the championship. Reserve champion was the winner of the private drag section - Colonel Toby Browne CVO driving a team of Her Majesty the Queen's greys to a Whitlock private drag. He also won the award for the best turned out coach.

Bob Elliott's full report along with reports of all the driving disciplines at the show, will be in the June issue of Carriage Driving - on sale from 31st May for more information on how to purchase a copy, contact our Subscriptions Team on: 01722 716997
