RCIN 2999911

Princess Elizabeth is shown with Hans, a four-year-old Norwegian pony. He is in the harness of a French pony-cart, or chaise, which was given to Queen Alexandra on her birthday in 1875. Studio Lisa published several photographs of the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret driving the cart in the grounds at Windsor. Here, Princess Elizabeth is feeding Hans from the silver cup that they won at the Windsor Horse Show in 1944, for ‘the best turn out not exceeding 13 hands. Private Driving Class’.
