Royal Canadian Mounted Police Gifts Hanoverian Dressage Horse to King Charles III

A royal gift in the truest sense of the word was given to the British King Charles III by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

At King Charles III's coronation ceremony in May, the 7-year-old Hanoverian mare "Her Noble" (by High Spirits out of St.Pr. Dunija by Dr. Doolittle x Weltmeyer) (breeder: Heinz Griep, Herzlake) will be officially handed over to the British king.

The timing could not have been better, as the RCMP celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. King Charles has close personal ties to the RCMP, has been its Honorary Commissioner since 2012, and just last year, as part of the Platinum Jubilee of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, visited the stables and facilities in Ottawa where the horses for the Musical Ride are trained and met with riders and trainers there. He personally asked for a horse that, in the future, he will call "charger horse", the horse he will ride in the famous "Trooping the Colour Parades" in London, as soon as his current horse George retires.
