  • The sculpture of a heroic male figure on horseback entitled Physical Energy by artist George Frederick Watts in the Annenberg Courtyard of Burlington House, the Royal Academy in Piccadilly where the exhibition entitled 'Charles 1, King and Collector' is showing, on 6th April 2018, in London, England. This is a new cast of the original that was first exhibited outside the RA in 1904 and is an allegory of the human need for new challenges, of our instinct to always be scanning the horizon and the future. King Charles I amassed one of the most extraordinary art collections of his age, acquiring works by some of the finest artists of the past – Titian, Mantegna, Holbein, Dürer – and commissioning leading contemporary artists such as Van Dyck and Rubens. Following the his execution in 1649, the king's collection was sold off and scattered across Europe. Many works were retrieved during the Restoration, others now form the core of museums such as the Louvre and the Prado. This show reunites the greatest masterpieces of this magnificent collection for the first time.

  • Touring bullfighting Lusitanos horses await unloading from their horsebox before being ridden in the ring by Cavaleiros riders at the evening's 'Corrida de Touros', on 15th July 2016, at Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. Cavaleiros are  horseman or woman (rider), dressed in traditional 18th century costumes, fighting the bull from horseback. The horses are Portuguese Lusitanos, specially trained for the fights. These horses are usually skilled in dressage and may exhibit their art in the arena. The purpose of this fight is to stab three or four bandarilhas (small javelins) in the back of the bull. In the past, horseback bullfighters were often members of old aristocratic families. In the Portuguese version, unlike Spanish bullfights, the bull is not killed.

  • In Windsor Great Park's Long Walk across the landscape a hose gallops during a 3-day cross-country event, held annually on Her Majesty the Queens's property, on 16th June 1994, in London, England. The Long Walk was commenced by Charles II from 1680-1685 by planting a double avenue of elm trees. The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century. Now largely open to the public, the parkland is a popular recreation area for residents of the western London suburbs. The Copper Horse is a statue marking the end of the Long Walk at Snow Hill in Windsor Great Park in the English county of Berkshire. The walk begins at the George IV Gateway at Windsor Castle. The Copper Horse is a statue of George III on horseback, and is said to represent George as an emperor in the Roman tradition riding without stirrups, along the lines of the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius.

  • Match officials at a Cartier polo tournament in Windsor Great Park, London. As time ticks on during the chukka, a scorer in a long white coat stands watching another as he checks his watch and listens to a transistor radio. We see that one team of the Prince Philip Trophy is Pendell Polo stables from Reading, England who have scored 3 points. Polo - from pulu in Hindi - referring to the wooden ball which was used, was adopted by the sport in its slow spread to the west. The first polo club was established in the town of Silchar in Assam, India, in 1834. It is also  called "The Sport of Kings" and is a team sport played on horseback in which the objective is to score goals against an opposing team.
