At the Royal Stables at Christiansborg Palace there has been horses and life in the stables in Copenhagen’s Christiansborg Castle ever since The Royal Stables was inaugurated in 1740.

Show grounds and the two stables’ wings are the only parts of Christian IV’s grandiose baroque palace having survived several devastating fires.

In its heydays, 250 royal horses were stabled. They were the royal family’s living thrones.

Today, there are about 20 horses in the Royal Stables.
