Some of the well-known showjumpers participating include Laura Kraut, Pippa Funnell, Robert Whitaker (pictured left) and Tim Stockdale. The Royal Windsor Horse Show climaxes with The Alltech Royal Windsor Grand Prix this Sunday.

Show director Simon Brooks-Ward said: "We seem to be bucking the trend a bit in terms of entries. Where many shows are reporting low numbers, we have exceeded target and are delighted that competitors still seem to love coming to Royal Windsor Horse Show."

This year the show welcomes back the Land Rover six bar stakes on Saturday afternoon.

Entertainment and displays include the Shetland Pony Grand National, the Household Cavalry best turned out trooper and the DAKS Pony Club Games.

Newly launched this year is also the Royal Windsor food and shopping festival, containing more than 200 shops and places to eat including a World Food Pavilion.

The show is held across a large area of the Great Park.
