QE II Gardens - Wascana Park, Regina (the ''Queen City''), Saskatchewan
Laid to rest today. RIP.
This statue was unveiled by the Queen herself in 2005, on the occasion of the centenary of Saskatchewan becoming a province.
(The horse is ''Burmese'' - a black mare foaled in Saskatchewan, and trained for the RCMP's Musical Ride. Gifted to the Queen after a performance before her at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1969, she became the Queen's mount for the annual Trooping of the Colours from then until her (Burmese's) retirement in 1986; she passed away in 1990. The Queen later described Burmese as her favorite among all her horses.)
