This needs to be on every channel ❤ horse people unite! That Oldenburg Cleveland Bay cross is epic, he was a man that really understood what a good horse is.
Prince Philips' carriages might look old fashioned but were state of the art cutting edge at the time, even the timekeeping clock a large digit daylight-viewing LCD display, over 20 years predating Amazon Kindle daylight reader
To me, combined driving is the most challenging and exacting sport, requiring precise cooperation among the driver, crew and team. I'm always amazed at how willing the horses are to cooperative for mastering such intricate moves. I have no idea who the driver can keep the reins straight during difficult maneuvers. I'm surprised this sport has not generated much more public acclaim. It's much more interesting that racing or jumping.
Hey you guys realize the uploader David is in fact mentioned in the documentary as the Prince's head coachman, how awesome is that! Thanks so much for this Mr. Saunders!
Thank you for putting this documentary up. I learned to ride and drive in the Windsor area, and great memories they are. Prince Philip very good with the four-in-hand, what a pleasure to watch.
I landed here after reading about the passing of Prince Philip. When I read that he was an expert carriage driver. I imagined a stately drive around the estate with an exquisitely matched pair of high-stepping horses... Boy, was I wrong!
very good for storing treats for the horses

If you want to hear a 'real' British accent, go and watch Barry Hook's driving videos - Horse Drawn Productions.

This is so cool I never knew any of this
EXCELLENT R.I.P. prince Philip
I loved combined driving events when I had a horse that could do it well - he loved it too.
Helpful and informative plus fun video.
My favorite video! I send the curious to this site, as HRH Duke of Edinburgh is so talented, helpful and explaining the art of driving horses.
until recently I didn't know that was his hobby and he was a land rover fan.
Quality 360p ? Dislike :-(
The video was made for british TV and is what it is
Beautiful horse
