I vaguely remember some rigged horse jumping in something that might have been Rose of Versailles...

Thank you very much Medinoc , I've had a look, but I don't think this is it - I remember this programme being set later, certainly the mode of dress is wrong, I remember it being victorian (ish).

This is a long shot, but I've been searching for this for aaaggggeesss now.
It was probably on from the mid nineties to either just before or after the millennium. I remember it being on around 1600 (ish) in the afternoon, after (or around) the time of goosebumps.
The tv programme was primarily set in a kingdom and based around a girl. There was a villain who regularly tried to ruin things.
For instance she (the girl) was in a horse competition once and in order that he (the villain) would win, he had rigged the jumps so that when she went round the jumps raised in height.
There was also an instance where the prince was kidnapped and replaced with a double - they (the royal family) knew something was up when the imposter like marmalade instead of jam (or similar)...
I also remember that the opening sequence was her riding her horse...
