New employee
May we introduce Luxor, the new employee at H.M. The King's Royal Stables. Luxor was born in 2016 and has a background as both a driving and riding horse. He is an awake horse and his temperament is very well suited for the job as a parade horse. Luxor was bred and purchased from Bollerups Lantbruksinstitut in Skåne and was then called Bollerup Lyon. When the horses come to the Royal Stables, they change their name. The nameplates from the old Royal Stables on Helgeandsholmen are still used here. Tradition says that the first letter in the name of the father stallion (father Latour) becomes the first letter in the name.

Summer vacation at The Royal Stables
Now the horses of the Royal Stables are on the usual summer vacation. The tours at the Royal Stables take a break during June and reopen on July 1, when the courtyard with the café will also be open. The horses are on holiday all summer, but there are always a couple in the courtyard to pet. They take turns coming to the Royal Stables to eat, they run so much the pastures.
