An Eye-witness Account of the International Horse Show by Lieut.-Col. M. F. McTAGGART

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THE International Horse Show is always a feast of delights for anybody who enjoys seeing fine horses and fine riding of the military school. This year's Show is particularly interesting in that it will be the occasion of the first appearance in England of the men and horses of the Imperial Riding School of Vienna. This school-one of the few relics of Imperial Austria that survives-has been in existence for over three centuries, and the breed has been maintained with extraordinary success all that time.
The men are trained for a minimum of ten years, and the horses themselves receive a training unparalleled in any other part of the world. Lieut.-Col. MeTaggart who broadcast a talk on the Show last year, is one of the laading authorities on horses, and he has personal experience of the Vienna School.
