One of the first people Princess Anne spoke to after the riding display was 22-year-old Simonstone rider David Suthren.
After presenting him and other riders with commemorative red, white and blue rosettes, the Princess asked him how long he had been horse riding. David, who is paralysed down the right side of his body, said he had been riding for 11 years and enjoyed his hobby very much.
"I felt very nervous but our conversation was something I will never forget" said David.
