Several retired racehorses owned by HRH Queen Elizabeth II will be involved in a parade at Epsom on June 4, Cazoo Derby Day, as tribute to her contribution to the Thoroughbred racing and breeding industry.
Barbers Shop, a 20-year-old that placed in both the King George VI Chase and Hennessy Gold Cup, will be one of five of the Queen's horses at the event.
Barbers Shop was retired from racing in 2012 and became a show horse, bringing home championships from Hickstead and the Royal Windsor Horse Show multiple times. Barbers Shop is now retired from showing, but regularly participates in Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) parades. RoR is British Horseracing's official charity for the welfare of horses who have retired from racing.
Katie Jerram-Hunnable competed Barbers Shop and also shows First Receiver, a 5-year-old who last raced in 2020 at Royal Ascot.
Quadrille will also be in the parade; the retired racehorse is competing in dressage for Louise Robson. Robson also has the ride on Prince's Trust and Forth Bridge.
