Video narration recounting Princess Anne’s equestrian milestones: she was the first British royal to compete in the Olympic Games (1976) riding Goodwill (a horse owned by Queen Elizabeth II). Previously she won European championship medals (gold in 1971, silver in 1975). At the 1976 Montreal Olympics she suffered a serious fall but completed the three-day event without medal hopes. She remained active in equestrian sport and influenced London’s successful Olympic bid; her daughter Zara (called ‘Sara Phillips’ in the transcript) later won an Olympic silver in the same equestrian event.
