Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
The Queen and Duchess of Cornwall have paid a visit to the Ebony Horse Club in Brixton
in south London. The pair toured the facilities, meeting some of its young riders and feeding
the horses.
Marmalade. How old is Marmalade? Fifteen. Fifteen. That's pretty good.
The Queen actually paused to introduce herself this special horse.
Hello.
And after giggling away, Her Majesty watched a special riding display.
From all of us, thank you so much for joining us today and for watching our display. Your
Majesty, Your Royal Highness, my lords, ladies and gentlemen, the Ebony Horse Club!
It's amazing that the Queen's interested in all the work we do and also I think the last
time the Queen came to Brixton was many, many, many years ago so yeah it's amazing. It's
an experience that people like myself, who were once a member of the club, is able to
experience and also the children who just started with the club, and it just lets everyone
know the hard work we're doing and the great people who are interested.
The Ebony Horse Club has been open since 1996 and aims to help improve the life skills and
aspirations of some of the most disadvantaged young people in the area.
The Duchess of Cornwall has been President of the club since April 2009.
