No, but Anne has always shown a keen interest in horses and equine pursuits. At the age of 21, the Princess won the individual title at the European Eventing Championship, and was voted the BBC Sports Personality of the year in 1971. For more than five years she also competed with the British eventing team, winning a silver medal in both individual and team disciplines in the 1975 European Eventing Championship, riding the home-bred Doublet. The following year Anne participated in the 1976 Olympic games in Montreal as a member of the British team, riding the Queen's horse, Goodwill. Princess Anne assumed the Presidency of the Federation Equestre Internationale from 1986 until 1994. On 5 February 1987, she became the first Royal to appear as a contestant on a television quiz-show when she competed on the BBC panel game A Question of Sport. Her daughter, Zara Phillips, is also a keen equestrian competitor. Together with her horse, Toytown, she won individual and team gold medals at the 2005 European Eventing Championship as well as individual gold and team silver medals at the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games.

Princess Anne was a pupil of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.

not high. traditionaly horse races were run over distances between steeples (church) jumping the obsticalls along the way usually fences and hedges.

Some do, it depends on the horse and how good the trainer is. However, the best barrel racing hoorses are probably Quarter Horses --------------------------------------------------- it is actually called a standardbred. ANd yes, they can barrel race, some better than others but this breed is known for its versitility

Contrary to a popular myth The Grand National, Boat Race and FA Cup semi Finals have NOT all been on the same day, well not in the last 55 years at least. The closest this came to occurring was in 1992 when the National and Boat Race were both on Saturday 4 April and the FA Cup Semi Finals were held a day later on Sunday 5 April. A same day Grand National/FA Cup Semi Finals double is a more common occurrence than a Grand National/Boat Race double, the former last occurring as recently as 2012, whereas the latter has only occurred three times since 1970 (1981, the aforementioned 1992 and of course 2015). In both 1981 and 2015 the FA Cup semi Finals were held a week after the National/Boat Race double. The National and Boat Race usually do their best to avoid being held on the same day. Indeed there are instances when both were on the same weekend but with the boat race taking place on the Sunday to avoid the Grand National which is always on a Saturday. Finally, although Easter regularly falls in late March or early April I cannot find any occasion in the last 50 years when the Grand National has been run on Easter Saturday.

There are many Grand Nationals. The most famous is the Aintree Grand National which was run on the 29th of March in 1969.

This depends on whether the water jump is on the inside of the track or the outside of the track.

In a straight flat race 2000m is exactly five laps of a 400m track.

If the water jump is on the inside then the "lap" or circuit is less than 400m so the start line is moved back down the home straight to compensate and ensure the full 2000m is covered. The race then covers five and a bit circuits. With the clear run to the first barrier the total is 18 normal barriers and 5 water jumps - 23 in total.

If the water jump is on the outside (less common than on the inside) then the "lap" or circuit is more than 400m so the start line is moved forward to compensate and ensure only 2000m is covered. The race will then cover just under five circuits.

With the clear run to the first barrier the total is 17 normal barriers and 4 water jumps or 21 in total.

This is why the 2000m is a non-standard event.

The Grand National Steeplechase is a New Zealand horse race.

The best breed of steeplechase horse would be between a Quarter Horse and a Thoroughbred. A Quarter Horse is so named because it can outrun any other horse in a quarter mile race... even a Thoroughbred. However, a Thoroughbred is more like a train, while not super fast as first, its speed will build and build until he leaves all others behind. The call on which breed to buy is yours to make. As far as the best harness horse, that depends. All draft horses do well with harnesses. Some examples are Clydesdales (the "Budweiser" horses, as they're sometimes called) Friesians, and Percherons. These horses can also be ridden under saddle. If you're wanting to pull a smaller carriage, Walking horses and Quarter horses would be the best choice.

The likelihood of winning an online sweepstakes depends on how many entries one has, and how many total entries are in the sweepstakes. For example, if there are 100 total entries, and one has 5 entries into the sweepstakes, that person has a 5% chance of winning the prize. As with any contest, the more entries one has, and the smaller the total number of entries is, the better one's chances are.

The 2004 Cheltenham Gold Cup was won by Best Mate who emulated Arkle by also winning it 3 times (Best Mate previosly won it in 2002 and 03).

the longest enclosed flat racecourse in England is Pontefract , which at just over 2 miles is also the longest in Europe and i think maybe the world....Neil Jackson

Since 2005, York racecourse was extended and has now overtaken Pontefract's crown as the longest in Europe.

there are sixteen fences on the Aintree course

Santa Claus won it ridden by scobie breasly and trained by mick rogers

The winner in the quickest time was Mr Frisk in 8 minutes 47 seconds. What a cracker that was yesterday & No, I didn't have the winner ! So as a rule of thumb it's 4 1/2 miles in about 10 minutes juming 30 fences....
