Wiltshire riding stables pay tribute to Queen and her love of horses

While for some it's leaving flowers or a message of condolence a Wiltshire stables have paid tribute to the Queen in a more unusual way.

Four riders at SMS Equestrian in Fovant performed a special choreographed dressage ride known as a quadrille accompanied by the National Anthem.

Instructor Lucy Watling was one of those involved describing it as "a precious moment, I will never forget."

Lucy added that it seemed a fitting way to remember the Queen given her love of horses.

"She was just a horse lover like us, she loved racing, she loved riding and was able to do that for many, many years"

Owner Sarah Mitchell-Sheppard described it as 'magical and emotional' on social media and said that she was proud of 'Louisa, Lucy, Emma, Phoebe, Victor, Tyke, Bazinga and Glen for 'embracing and nailing such a display.'
