The Princess Royal is a passionate equestrian

The event was hosted by presenter Nicki Chapman and showcased the snowy white Lipizzaner horses - a favourite of the royal family. Anne has supported the Spanish Riding School for decades and even rode one of their horses in 1969 during a visit alongside the late Queen.
