By Gracious permission of Her Majesty The Queen, Windsor Park Equestrian Club has been holding its events on Smith's Lawn for 38 years. Nowhere else in the United Kingdom will you find this mix of equestrian disciplines all taking place at the same time.
Showjumping, ridden dressage and competitive carriage driving all take place within easy reach of the road alongside The Guards Polo Club.
The venue is unique and uniquely beautiful. Dogs (on leads!) and children are all welcome to watch the competitions and new helpers are always welcome.
During the season other events take place such as the Smith's Lawn Horse Trials, the Sponsored Drive and the BDS Annual Show.
Come along and watch, join the Club and enjoy the benefits of membership.
"What is this life if full of care, we have no time to stop and stare."
