Wiltshire Police represented for first time by a team at Royal Windsor Horse Show

Tuesday, 20 May 2025 05:55

Representatives from Wiltshire Police competed this weekend in the Royal Windsor Horse Show 2025.

It is the first time a team has represented Wiltshire Police at this event, and the team came 12th out of a total of 19 teams.

Laura Hughes from the Local Policing Tasking Team, Hollie Clark, Financial Investigator and Rachael Fairbain from Complex Fraud all took part in the Services Team Jumping competition.

Hollie Clark said, "I am so proud of the team and the way the horses coped in the electric atmosphere. It makes you feel incredibly humble taking part in the parade of teams from across the services, including the Army, RAF and Navy, in front of the crowds.

"Corgary Shadow produced a fast, clear round to finish 3rd out of 54 starters. Pembrook Hollywood had an unlucky four faults, just tipping a pole, and Dunmaynor Star had a big ask to complete this up-to-height course and jumped smoothly up until fence 7, when the double presented a few issues.

"Regardless of the results, we had a fantastic day and felt proud that we could represent Wiltshire Police.

"Taking part in these sorts of events is an important part of the police collaborating with other forces."
