Burmese, a black mare born in 1962, was given to Queen Elizabeth II by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and ridden by Her Majesty for Trooping the Colour for eighteen consecutive years from 1969 to 1986.

Burmese was bred at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Stud at Regina, Saskatchewan in western Canada. She was trained in Ottawa and in 1969 was presented to Her Majesty The Queen when members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police came to England to perform in the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

The Queen first rode Burmese on her birthday parade in June 1969. Burmese's last public appearance was at The Queen's birthday parade in 1986, after which she retired to Windsor where she died in 1990.
