Extended project 3-

The Queen has ridden a number of different horses since her first appearance at trooping the colour in 1947, this was the first ceremony to be held after the end of the Second World War. However, there was one particular mare that the Queen seemed to favour and have a profoundly love for it seemed. Burmese. Burmese was a beautiful black mare. She was seven years old when she was handed to Her Majesty. This mare was given to the Queen by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1969 when representatives came to England to perform at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. Burmese had been trained in Ottawa and was ready for her first trooping the Colour parade later that same year. Her Majesty rode the black mare in the annual Birthday Parade every year after she was handed over to her until she was retired in the 1986 ceremony. Following the horses retirement, the Queen decided she did not wish to have a new horse trained in her place and she then attended the ceremony's there on in a horse drawn carriage. Burmese was put out to graze at Windsor Castles Park, where she later died in 1990. The Queen then unveiled a bronze statue in front of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina, Canada, in 2005, where she is mounted on Burmese.
Her Majesty quite clearly had a very strong connection and relationship with this black beauty and never could replace her. The mare had honoured the Queen for many years. Something that is irreplaceable, an animals love.
