QEST Scholars will be returning to the Royal Windsor Horse Show again this year to showcase and demonstrate their crafts in the Royal Warrant Holders Association Pavilion. From saddlery to millinery, embroidery to lithography and more, there’s something for everyone at the leading equestrian show, held in the beautiful grounds of Windsor Castle from 12-15 May.
