Yeah, my father was a Life Guard, my two uncles were Blues & Royals. After leaving the army, my father joined the Met Police Mounted Branch and his work horse was Imperial, the Queen's horse for Trooping the Colour for several years. One of my uncles made the army his career and ended up at a colonel in the Royal Veterinary Corps. I just served in a bog standard armoured regiment! 😁
A proud man on a fine horse. These horses are so well looked after. If you ever go there, compare the cavalry horses to the police horses. The police horses are turned out very well, but the cavalry horses look superb.
Wow! The trumpeter looked so handsome on that magnificent horse...so proud to be a Brit 😊 all the troopers and the horses just stunning. Thanks 👍 for posting.
Especially when you think of the significance. It is like the Angel in the Bible, or even Donald Trump, "God's Trumpeter." (And there's why he is hated so much.)
Those horses are treated like kings. They are loved to within an inch of their lives and well taken care of. They are stunning creatures who work to protect the Monarch. I just so love them. Just do not touch them. They are doing their job and need to be admired from a distance. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@RoxanneM- Actually, the thing in their mouths is called a bit. And they often chew on the bit when they are agitated or stressed. Hence the reason to stay away and let them do their job in peace. So admire them from a distance instead of crowding them or patting.
@@christahopkinson9721 The guard will give you a very loud command that will scare you out of your skin. They talk take their job very seriously, as they should. They are a protection of our BELOVED monarchy. ❤👑
I hadn't realized how large these beautiful animals are. In dealing with the public I wonder how many times a day a guardsman thinks "A$$hole!". Then double it for the horse!
& the amazing thing is, just like all the British Army best horses have come from Ireland, most of greatest soldiers (and its most successful generals) have as well!
@@newton18311 No! I was talking about men like Wellington, Kitchener, French, Gort, Alexander, O'Connor, Montgomery and their men in the Irish regiments of the British Army -several of which still exist to this day day!
And oddly many of the riders only started riding when they were moved from ordinary military duties (perhaps overseas) in readiness for events like this.
I have worked with many mounted units as color guard. I am surprised at how many horses are throwing their heads up! I think it’s their heavy bits bothering their mouths. Some of these dress bridles are a nuisance.
I get the feeling a lot of the people think the guards, their uniform, and actions are a joke and just there for appearance. Every action and uniform has a purpose. They would not go on a military base in US and act like that. Our white house has guards and access limitations. The kings guards are very regal deserve respect not Snickers.
I agree they deserve so much respect. For some people it’s just a tourist thing to do and maybe they don’t appreciate the significance and history of it all.
Alimar and @nita Webster I agree, they are real solders! I saw a video once where a guard was standing at his post and a tourist was making him into a joke and getting in his face and laughing at him. All of a sudden the guard punched the guy and down he went! Knocked him out cold! The guard went back to his duty and left the guy laying there until his family went to him woke him up and walked him away. I laughed so hard! It was awesome to see.
Aww wow I love the British horses...and rides. Wow wow wow I'm American and I love it God bless em all sincerely Everett Washington State USA ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸👍❤️
I realized that this exercise was to condition the horse to crowds and rude people but I couldn’t believe there were no armed police near..One woman looked like she was going to try and pet the horse..I will be up at 3am in Scottsdale,Arizona to watch the coronation..
@@kripaharris237 well, the police around this area carry some major fire power! There are quite a few policemen (& women) on horses & on foot in this area daily. I’ll be up watching as well. 🍾🥂❤️🐎
The trumpeter always rides a white horse to stand out in battle. At the Trooping the Colour Ceremony in June. The trumpeter is seen galloping round the arena from the back to the front rank. I look out for him every year.
The flies are about to take that poor horse out. His bits are extremely uncomfortable which is why he is head swishing and chomping on his bit..a very good baby in rough circumstances
Will be watching from Bradenton, Florida at 5 am our time! Kings Coronation! Can’t miss this historic event! God Save The King from friends in the USA!

Or simply, “I’m going to the coronation”? Is there a significance I’m missing? I hope you’re able to educate me. And I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your time across the pond.
These horses and soldiers are magnificent! I wish more people would be respectful of them when visiting. It’s not Disneyland and they’re not actors or props. They’re working horses and soldiers. And they’re magnificent!
I love everything here. It is so sad in my opinion that ignorant people want to get rid of all this beauty. The animals are cared for and treated well.
I completely agree, so many teenagers my age call this all useless and think it should all be gotten rid off but I absolutely love this part of our country
I cannot wait myself to see the carnation. It's much better than our so called presidency parade which used to mean something. Our government doesn't mean very much lately god bless your future king and queen

@@josephturner7569 Not a practice but part of the guard mount. The trumpeter goes into position on The Mall to await the arrival of the New Guard (Life Guards in this case), then goes back into Horse Guards Parade to call the duty officer of the Old Guard. Happens only during a so called "Long Guard" (i.e. when the monarch is in London) with the trumpeter, a standard and an officer being present as well.
Thank you for posting this video! I probably would never be able to afford a trip there so it is trough videos like this that I can see amazing events like this one! I truly appreciate you for sharing this !
So very proud to be British. The pomp and circumstance, the pageantry, respect and admiration that we the public still have for our Armed Forces proves they are still needed and loved.
People tend to forget that some of these horses are quite young, and although getting used to crowds as such, the Coronation itself is going to be a whole different ball game for them and their riders. I pray all goes smoothly and no stupid idiots decide to make loads bangs right next to them….people “could “ be badly injured or killed. Watch, enjoy and everyone please use common sense around these stunning horses, and the stamina their riders need, using just one hand on the reins and their knees to control!!! 🙏🌹
Seeing this video several days after the Coronation, I will say that it all went off just beautifully. You Brits are the best at Royal pagentry and I, as an American of British descent, love watching it all. Perhaps before I die, I will actually set foot on my ancient Homeland.
You are part of an ever dwindling minority now ! I was a child when I saw the Coronation of QE11 in 1953! Most ordinary homes did not have t.v. back then but an aunt of mine did, so the whole family descended there to watch the Coronation ! We are lucky to have lived through some of the best years, AFTER the war, although we were impacted by that for some years due to food and clothes rationing etc. did not finish until the mid fifties ! We went to schools that still taught the traditional stuff, religion, school started every day with a religious theme, we were taught to be proud of our country and celebrated all the special days, and our lessons were spared some of the ghastly stuff , transgender etc. that poor kids are subjected to now,! I believe we were a "lucky" generation. Hope you enjoy the Coronation.
No wonder Henry is going bonkers, this is awesome, I really am going to put great Britain my bucket list just to experience their wonderful culture. King Charles must remain strong, we are behind him all the way. Love from. Swaziland 🇸🇿 (a former Commonwealth country) our King will be in attendance
Don’t just go to London. Visit Arundel Castle The Duke of Norfolk lives there and is responsible organising many Royal events. Hire a car and get out into the non touristy villages with real old pubs. There is history all around . Winchester cathedral and the meadow walk to the old Saxon church etc
When you do, please get out of London and visit some of our glorious countryside and landscapes, Our beautiful small towns and villages too. We have an amazing coastline. London is only a tiny part of what the U K has to offer !
Great job filming. The only tell you were there were your footsteps when following. I appreciate the polite silence that other vieographers don't observe. Well Done. 👍👏😊
I went horsebacking riding with girlfriends as a teen. Two out of the five knew how to ride horses. It doesn't look anything like on TV. The seat where I was supposed to get up seemed to be level with my head. And I was tall and overweight then, so a poor guy helped me up. (I bet he developed a hernia, seems reasonable.) Well, the three of us who did not know how to ride, our horses stopped at a nice shady spot and started eating grass. They were trail horses and one followed another, I think. We just started laughing because we didn't know any better. Well, the two smartypants that galloped off came back and asked us what was wrong. As if they didn't know. Well, horseback riding is not what it seems!
Your absolutely right! It’s like riding a 1000-2000 lb 3 year old kid with an attitude! I’ve been on many objects to mount my horse. Picnic tables, truck beds, stumps, coolers, fences, & more. And they have to move off just when I’d get my foot in the stirrup. You really have to learn their language. It’s visual, motion, movement, even a smile will transform them.
What a magnificent horse and rider,have to be so hard to sit in the pouring rain ,wearing a uniform !the rider is excellent ,great control and posture !!
@@Suz88 First time I watched it was at the cinema ,I have never forgotten the whole experience, the costumes the sound and colours ,it's one of my best top films to watch on a rainy day ,when I need to forget everything else.
The obvious pride of that soldier made me feel quite emotional and so proud to be British. I agree with another subscriber, where were the police to control these idiot tourists. The stupid giggly woman who looked as though she was going to try and touch the horse for example. Until I started watching these videos of the horse guards, I hadn't realised just how ignorant and disrespectful people can be Don't they do any research before coming to visit the UK, as I'm sure some of them think this is just another Disneyland? Thank you AJKC
As an American, I apologize for idiot tourists. We aren't alp like that. She I was in England on the late.1980s, I was so moved by the ancient buildings that were evident in not just London but the other place is business and interest took us. In London, we.stayed at the charming Goring Hotel and visited the British museum. We spent several days in an ancient hotel in Kindle and the shoe town was so friendly and welcoming. We weren't the loud obnoxious tourists at Westminster Abbey or stance Hathaway as house or the churchyard there.I hope I didn't come across like the people you mentioned..
I just commented on the exact same thing, Patricia. The last time I watched one of these videos, it was the exact same thing. Those bits must be very uncomfortable for the horses. I don’t understand it. Don’t their riders notice it? And why isn’t something done about it?
@@cak8132 the horse was getting impatient however horses often chomp on the bit. Horse looks keen to get back to his mates. Don't worry about these horses, they are very well looked after. I think they are amazing.
@@dotwillcoxson5352 They are indeed beautiful animals. Thanks for the reassuring words. Just by looking at them, I can see they’re treated very well. I was just concerned by what I had interpreted as discomfort with the bit.
I think the bits are ill fitting. I've ridden with large groups of riders in different settings in parades, trails,patrols. No one's horse throws their heads like the guard horses
@@susantunbridge4612 Is it? Someone else in the comments said they were bred in Ireland. I have no idea where they come from, but they are trained by the Household Cavalry.
I think many foreign visitors do not realise that all of the men in the fancy costumes performing pomp and ceremony, are fully trained fighting soldiers in the British Army! Different men take part from time to time, and the "old brigade" return to their duties ! In no way are they "pantomime" performers !
@@susantunbridge4612 these are not RCMP horses. Burmese, as the others, was black. Another was given to the King recently, think they're up to 9 gifted. Burmese was used as a police horse when the Queen Trooped the Colours. They are bred in Ontario these days and have bred by the Mounties since the 30s. The breed has been improved by using Hanoverians and now has some of the best examples in the country. Like the Cavalry Blacks, they are fine animals and are carefully selected.
Horses ears always fascinate me. I appreciate sometimes when they’re back or forward is an alert/relax thing as well as noise directional, but when each ear is snapping back and forth in completely different directions always makes me watch. Do you think the horse has independent control of each ear or is t automatic?
What a stunning beautiful horse. I always dreamt of having a horse like that, that i wanted to call Freddie if it was a boy of course 😅. But we were to poor. Still i have my dreams and memories.
These are CAVALRY horses, that is, WAR HORSES. Are people really so dense that they think these are PETS? Those sabers are real weapons. These are guards, that can be a formidable force for crowd control. If someone tries to start trouble, they will find that out. Those are really big, fit horses and it is a tribute to the riders that they are so well educated about their jobs.
@@dbyers3897 Have you been educated in Classical Dressage? Well I have and this is definitely not ceremonial. It is a MARTIAL ART. I went to a British Horsemaster school. You learn cavalry training of horse and rider there. The Spanish Riding School is a MILITARY unit, as is the Cadre Noir. Queen Elizabeth set up and sponsored the British Pony Club so that she would have competent horsemen and women for her household cavalry. Have you ever seen the US Park Police in action in Washington DC? I saw them in training as well as during crowd control between 1967-1983. When tourists become rioters, you will see what cavalry can do in close quarters.
@@LovinLnCottage Absolute, complete rubbish. There's no connection between the training for police horses and the military whatsoever. As for the Pony Club, it was founded in 1929 when the Queen was three - nothing whatsoever to do with the Household Cavalry.
How wonderful to see this cornation and in color! I was too young to understand even a bit of what was happening when the late Queen was crowned. I thank God he has allowed me to witness this event even though I'm not a British citizen. PJ
But t is is SO much more than that! It is our history, our very being, and they are a focus for the British people in times of trouble and war etc. They have been part and parcel of making us one of the most secure and stable countries in the world. Many dont realise, but they have NO political power. That is in the hands of our democratically elected Government, but they stand as a bridge between the people and the politicians.
I have heard figures closer to a billion on busy years like Jubilee, Coronation, weddings ect. Not just tourist spots, hotels, air lines, food services. Then all the businesses that serve those businesses and the businesses that serve the employees of those businesses. Sanitation/cleaning companies, uniform suppliers, car services and the like. The tax revenues from those alonen is quite a bit. Imagine the banks that would go under with the loss of all those companies and ppl not having money. It would be a spiraling of businesses ones you never think of as being "tourist " related.
None of these fellows, in their historic/ ceremonial dress, are there for tourists or " looks". These are fully trained, military personnel😊Theuy take their role seriously & so should everyone else.
Thank you soldiers for loving care of these magnificent animals!
What a beauty
The Queen so loved these magnificent Horses!
@@cynthiaburrus3901 the queen named the horse's herself the ones that pull the carriage. 😊
@@janolaful She didn’t name the cavalry horses.
Did I say that no she named all the Windsor grays horses who pull the carriage which you will see on May 6th

Nobody does it like the English. A few tossers in the crowd. Horses are magnificent and can't imagine how difficult it is for the riders. Well done.
Do you mean the guards ?
Probably both. The guards see active duty & the ceremony of horse guard is part of being in the army or other service.
We are British, our country is the United Kingdom comprised of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and your comment is insulting
There are Scottish, Welsh and Irish in the BRITISH Armed Forces.

and clothes rationing etc. did not finish until the mid fifties !
We went to schools that still taught the traditional stuff, religion, school started
every day with a religious theme, we were taught to be proud of our country and
celebrated all the special days, and our lessons were spared some of the ghastly
stuff , transgender etc. that poor kids are subjected to now,! I believe we were
a "lucky" generation. Hope you enjoy the Coronation.
Saw the Queen years ago at her coronation. Looking forward now to seeing her son on his special day.
Oh My, What a Majestic sight of a BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL, Thanks be to GOD!
No wonder Henry is going bonkers, this is awesome, I really am going to put great Britain my bucket list just to experience their wonderful culture.
King Charles must remain strong, we are behind him all the way.
Love from. Swaziland 🇸🇿 (a former Commonwealth country) our King will be in attendance
Don’t just go to London. Visit Arundel Castle The Duke of Norfolk lives there and is responsible organising many Royal events. Hire a car and get out into the non touristy villages with real old pubs. There is history all around . Winchester cathedral and the meadow walk to the old Saxon church etc
When you do, please get out of London and visit some of our glorious
countryside and landscapes, Our beautiful small towns and villages too.
We have an amazing coastline. London is only a tiny part of what the U K
has to offer !
Superb relationship between horse n rider! Kudos!!
Beautiful animal! Must be hard for them with people getting too close and making noises! Cheers for the soldier in charge!!❤
Great job filming. The only tell you were there were your footsteps when following. I appreciate the polite silence that other vieographers don't observe. Well Done. 👍👏😊
I went horsebacking riding with girlfriends as a teen. Two out of the five knew how to ride horses. It doesn't look anything like on TV. The seat where I was supposed to get up seemed to be level with my head. And I was tall and overweight then, so a poor guy helped me up. (I bet he developed a hernia, seems reasonable.) Well, the three of us who did not know how to ride, our horses stopped at a nice shady spot and started eating grass. They were trail horses and one followed another, I think. We just started laughing because we didn't know any better. Well, the two smartypants that galloped off came back and asked us what was wrong. As if they didn't know. Well, horseback riding is not what it seems!
M zq ❤😅
Your absolutely right! It’s like riding a 1000-2000 lb 3 year old kid with an attitude!
I’ve been on many objects to mount my horse. Picnic tables, truck beds, stumps, coolers, fences, & more. And they have to move off just when I’d get my foot in the stirrup.
You really have to learn their language. It’s visual, motion, movement, even a smile will transform them.
Is this a rehearsal for the C?
lessons help, from a qualified instructor
If you are still interested, I will teach you.
That Horse is so cute he’s so happy to be out beautiful horse 😍
What a magnificent horse and rider,have to be so hard to sit in the pouring rain ,wearing a uniform !the rider is excellent ,great control and posture !!
Gorgeous, Beautiful animal!
I love the sound of their hoofs
Thank you for sharing the video
They are all so beautiful and amazing. I love watching this video God bless them all the horses and the men.
Everytime I see these guards I think of "Far from the maddening crowd" 😂
Yes ,especially this guard ,Terence Stamp double😂
I just watched that movie. Lol
That’s Far from the Madding Crowd.
@@Suz88 First time I watched it was at the cinema ,I have never forgotten the whole experience, the costumes the sound and colours ,it's one of my best top films to watch on a rainy day ,when I need to forget everything else.
@@franceslaw8993 One of my favourite films, Thomas Hardy was a wonderful writer from my home county of Dorset.
This is beautiful to watch !
Thanks for doing this and for your special care and respect.
My 18 year old daughter is joining the blues & Royals
Wonderful. I'm sure she will enjoy it.
Beautiful to watch, thank you.
beautiful horses...❤❤❤
My God, what a magnificent horse!
Absolutely stunning animal. Truly majestic. Very fortunate people who were able to attend the Coronation in person. ❤
The obvious pride of that soldier made me feel quite emotional and so proud to be British. I agree with another subscriber, where were the police to control these idiot tourists. The stupid giggly woman who looked as though she was going to try and touch the horse for example. Until I started watching these videos of the horse guards, I hadn't realised just how ignorant and disrespectful people can be Don't they do any research before coming to visit the UK, as I'm sure some of them think this is just another Disneyland? Thank you AJKC
It's necessary to expose both the horses and their riders to idiotic tourists before such a big event as a coronation.
As an American, I apologize for idiot tourists. We aren't alp like that. She I was in England on the late.1980s, I was so moved by the ancient buildings that were evident in not just London but the other place is business and interest took us. In London, we.stayed at the charming Goring Hotel and visited the British museum. We spent several days in an ancient hotel in Kindle and the shoe town was so friendly and welcoming. We weren't the loud obnoxious tourists at Westminster Abbey or stance Hathaway as house or the churchyard there.I hope I didn't come across like the people you mentioned..
You are quite right. It does feel like some types of people have been educated in a Disneyland sub-atmosphere.
What is AJKC?
I am hoping to be able to visit London soon.
For people who know horses, why was he fighting the bit in his mouth? He/she is an impressive animal.
I just commented on the exact same thing, Patricia. The last time I watched one of these videos, it was the exact same thing. Those bits must be very uncomfortable for the horses. I don’t understand it. Don’t their riders notice it? And why isn’t something done about it?
@@cak8132 the horse was getting impatient however horses often chomp on the bit. Horse looks keen to get back to his mates. Don't worry about these horses, they are very well looked after. I think they are amazing.
@@dotwillcoxson5352 They are indeed beautiful animals. Thanks for the reassuring words. Just by looking at them, I can see they’re treated very well. I was just concerned by what I had interpreted as discomfort with the bit.
@@cak8132 i was also wondering about the bit. I dont like seeing that
I think the bits are ill fitting. I've ridden with large groups of riders in different settings in parades, trails,patrols. No one's horse throws their heads like the guard horses
Thx riders on super London 🐎 horses
Great brilliant jobs 2023 ....stunning
🤗👍
Hope the crowd will show more respect ❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
Love the ritual and pomp and circumstance of these upcoming events. All the preparation is awesome to watch.
beautifully tall horse. the english are great horseman
That is a Canadian-bred horse. It's traditional for the Mounties to give the RF horses - the Queen rode one in parades for years, Burma.
@@susantunbridge4612 So she did.
@@susantunbridge4612 Is it? Someone else in the comments said they were bred in Ireland. I have no idea where they come from, but they are trained by the Household Cavalry.
I think many foreign visitors do not realise that all of the men in the fancy costumes
performing pomp and ceremony, are fully trained fighting soldiers in the British
Army! Different men take part from time to time, and the "old brigade" return to
their duties ! In no way are they "pantomime" performers !
@@susantunbridge4612 these are not RCMP horses. Burmese, as the others, was black. Another was given to the King recently, think they're up to 9 gifted. Burmese was used as a police horse when the Queen Trooped the Colours. They are bred in Ontario these days and have bred by the Mounties since the 30s. The breed has been improved by using Hanoverians and now has some of the best examples in the country. Like the Cavalry Blacks, they are fine animals and are carefully selected.
Wow what a beautiful smart horse and Rider soilder!
God save The King and Queen Consort Camilla
She will simply be "Queen" now !
@@marycarver1542 Yes, I know.. Queen Camilla 💕💕
Save them from what?
@@krisbaker9427
Save them from you.
Horses ears always fascinate me. I appreciate sometimes when they’re back or forward is an alert/relax thing as well as noise directional, but when each ear is snapping back and forth in completely different directions always makes me watch.
Do you think the horse has independent control of each ear or is t automatic?
Yes they do. They are independent, and LOCK ON to every new sound.
The horse did not like the people coming up behind him his ears were like radar.
Beautiful♥️
I love it all! Lived, and studied in London, and loved it all!
Beautiful horse! ❤
Poor guard, terrible ignorant people.Don' they understand they are preparing for the historical day!
A lot of people are just ignorant & don’t realise these guards are & were soldiers!!! Respect, People!
Those are some mighty fine looking horses you have over there.🇬🇧❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
What a stunning beautiful horse. I always dreamt of having a horse like that, that i wanted to call Freddie if it was a boy of course 😅. But we were to poor. Still i have my dreams and memories.
These are CAVALRY horses, that is, WAR HORSES. Are people really so dense that they think these are PETS? Those sabers are real weapons. These are guards, that can be a formidable force for crowd control. If someone tries to start trouble, they will find that out. Those are really big, fit horses and it is a tribute to the riders that they are so well educated about their jobs.
Lighten up. These are ceremonial displays for visitors performed by serving troops. No one's been sabered in a while.
@@dbyers3897 Have you been educated in Classical Dressage? Well I have and this is definitely not ceremonial. It is a MARTIAL ART. I went to a British Horsemaster school. You learn cavalry training of horse and rider there. The Spanish Riding School is a MILITARY unit, as is the Cadre Noir. Queen Elizabeth set up and sponsored the British Pony Club so that she would have competent horsemen and women for her household cavalry. Have you ever seen the US Park Police in action in Washington DC? I saw them in training as well as during crowd control between 1967-1983. When tourists become rioters, you will see what cavalry can do in close quarters.
@@LovinLnCottage You may be all that but you still missed my point. Thanks for playing though.
Absolute rubbish. Under no circumstances would these horses ever be used for crowd control.
@@LovinLnCottage Absolute, complete rubbish. There's no connection between the training for police horses and the military whatsoever. As for the Pony Club, it was founded in 1929 when the Queen was three - nothing whatsoever to do with the Household Cavalry.
Time to coral the touchy feely human masses and make way for the horses lol.
Coral?
AJKC im impressed with the 3 targets for your channel 👍
What a Beatiful horse,Love waching from puerto rico, godbless them all
How wonderful to see this cornation and in color! I was too young to understand even a bit of
what was happening when the late Queen was crowned. I thank God he has allowed me to witness this event even though I'm not a British citizen. PJ
I don't think some people who does not want the Monachy realise that The Monachy brings in Millions on Tourism
But t is is SO much more than that! It is our history, our very being, and they are
a focus for the British people in times of trouble and war etc. They have been
part and parcel of making us one of the most secure and stable countries in
the world. Many dont realise, but they have NO political power. That is in the hands of our democratically elected Government, but they stand as a bridge
between the people and the politicians.
Yes. The naysayers need to regard the Royals as a commodity and look at what the tourism brings in and how many businesses benefit.
I have heard figures closer to a billion on busy years like Jubilee, Coronation, weddings ect.
Not just tourist spots, hotels, air lines, food services. Then all the businesses that serve those businesses and the businesses that serve the employees of those businesses. Sanitation/cleaning companies, uniform suppliers, car services and the like. The tax revenues from those alonen is quite a bit. Imagine the banks that would go under with the loss of all those companies and ppl not having money. It would be a spiraling of businesses ones you never think of as being "tourist " related.
Yes! I live in Florida which relies on tourism as its primary industry. Britain has an additional problem, being an island.
Yes I heard in the last 18 months it’s projected to bring over 3 billion.
Beautiful horses!
That beautiful white horse looks angelic.
That first grey mare couldn’t wait to get back with her herd. They are beautiful animals, inside & out.
None of these fellows, in their historic/ ceremonial dress, are there for tourists or " looks". These are fully trained, military personnel😊Theuy take their role seriously & so should everyone else.
They're there to do 'Public Duties' - for the public. Nothing else. For the vast majority, who only stay for four years, that's all they'll ever do.
Just love watching the ear’s swivel taking in everything.
I love watching those satellite dishes atop the horse. He doesn't miss a wit!!
Nice one bro
I still don't know who were stunned?! I saw the whole clip waiting patiently ...
Same...😒
So proud of our heritage
Beautiful horse.
