CORONATION
Special
LIKE his parents, The King has always managed to fit horses into a busy life. A determined and versatile horseman, he excelled at polo, achieving a four-goal handicap when there were only 10 such players in the country. He was also a gutsy steeplechase jockey – he speaks with rueful pride of having completed Cheltenham only once – and, before the Hunting Act of 2004, the prince rode regularly to hounds in our most demanding countries.
