    That was a spook? Horse barely moved. Well done!

      Agreed. The horse did an excellent job by taking a step or two back and caused no problems. That is good training. I was recently in Stockholm and saw a horse get agitated and the poor tuba player was thrown off the horse. They had a good protocol set to contain the horse, but it was not happy.

    Panic? The horse was startled, yes, but it hardly panicked. As to the trooper dropping his sword, well it happens. I'm speculating, but don't they usually 'return swords' before they dismount? Perhaps the officer forgot the order and this confused the men, hence the rather awkward carrying the swords and scabbards in one hand as they retire.

      @packsaddle101 Год назад +4

      The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment has had a long tradition with Irish horses especially the Cavalry blacks. Today, 98% of the black horses in the Queen's Household Cavalry are sourced in Ireland and are of Irish Draught (draft) stock. From what I've been able to gather, they will also infuse some Thoroughbred or Warmblood into the mix. So, they are probably not one particular breed, but are more concerned with certain physical and dispositional traits. For example, they must be at least 16 hands tall (64 inches at the withers), be black in color, although some white is allowed on the face and around the hooves, but excessive white (i.e., stockings) is not allowed. And they must have a good disposition. Hope that helps.
