Soldier Dies After Falling from Horse at Royal Windsor Horse Show The juxtaposition of pomp and circumstance with tragic loss was starkly evident on Friday evening when a soldier fell from their horse during the display by the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.
The incident occurred within minutes of the troop taking to the arena, shifting the mood from one of expectation and pageantry to one of shock and despair.
The soldier sustained serious injuries that ultimately proved fatal despite efforts to provide medical assistance.
