Being from the U.S. with strong bloodlines to the U.K., I am both thankful and amazed that England has kept the old traditions of the King’s Guard and others alive and functional. What a joy to watch.
TOY SOLDIERS NOT ANY GOOD FOR WAR
The UK, not just England. There has been a regiment of Irish foot guards since about 1900.
Glad you like us buddy.
@@BandomemeYou sound bitter I am Southern Irish but it does not bother me at all, being lumped together. United we stand etc...
@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 personally, I like your attitude! But you won’t find many of the soldiers so easy-going. I’m just tired of having to explain the differences between England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom. Much of the time it doesn’t really matter, but when it does matter it matters a lot. The other day someone actually commented that these soldiers couldn’t be Irish because they were playing the bagpipes. Sigh.
I just love watching them get ready to start absolutely superb Horses are immaculate it would have taken a lot of training to get up to this level I am so impressed God Bless the Kings Royal Guardsman ❤❤From New Zealand
They are Known as The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, and although they form part of the Household Cavalry, when on Parade, they are not Guardsmen. They are Gunners.
That’s nice to know thanks for that
@@CBTinstructorYes, the Battle of Balaclava was it? Or was that the cavalry?
It's worth pointing that ALL of those men and women serve in the Royal Artillery - and that many of them will have seen combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. These ceremonial duties are only a small part of their work. Do they make me proud to be British? Damn *RIGHT* they do!
YES !
Yep killing poor people by the thousands...
Thanks - I didn't know that - I assumed all this ceremonial stuff was their job - kudos to these guys for being so admirable in this role & their military roles too ! Wonderfully trained & beautiful horses !
So proud of all those men and women who serve proudly; I think few realize that they are SOLDIERS and many have served our country and and some have died for it. Many just see the ceremonial side, the ceremonial clothing and think they are just dressed for show. They are real fighting SOLDIERS.❤❤
Absolutely superb! I will never stopping loving the King’s Troop! Thank you for posting.

I'm impressed of the highly skilled riders and the discipline of the horses
It is so nice when people write such kind comments about our soldiers, especially The Guards & their amazing horses. They do put up with a lot normally when they are on duty & many tourists are so rude to them, it will be appreciated by them when they get this sort of feedback💂💂💂💂🇬🇧
I do hope all the Military who p are engaged in these Ceremonial exercises do get to know that they are admired and appreciated. Those who sit on horses in the boxes and the Gatesmen and Chitsman put up with a lot. Unfortunately not many say 'Thank you' for the pictures taken that will give the taker lasting memories 😢
People like to feel appreciated in life at some point, soldiers are no different, no matter what country they are from, what we shouldn't forget is they are prepared to fight in war to keep their fellow countryfolk safe & free, I would do that if I didn't have a choice but I wouldn't be on the front line, I'd be on the deck playing dead!!. When you think about what soldiers do then we all should be more grateful & respectful. These soldiers are a tourist attraction but firstly they are the guard of the Queen or King & they will 'guard' with their life without hesitation. 😲✌️🏴🇬🇧
Wow!The skill involved,the impeccable behaviour of the horses, the history of the gun carriages and the very respectful crowd ís a joy to watch.Thank you so much for this video I loved it👏
Any professional worker has a skill of years of learning
Look how well behaved these beauties are, what a sight to see, thanks!!❤
Horses are probably glad to get out and finally do something, brief as it is
They seem to be mostly women on the horses. That’s a surprise.
Am a proud American, but also proud of my British heritage.
So proud to be British and love our monarchy. Something to hold on to dearly. Nobody does it better ❤️
Proud of what exactly, kings & Queens who murdered, plotted, exploited the plepe, whilst enjoying the best of life ?
I understand your thinking well, but do you realize how brainwashed you are?
@@rob5197Spot on 👍💯
All at the expense of the British Tax payer.
@@rob5197......plepe?
I am deeply touched by the comradly behavior for each other men and animals. Everyone helps the other, so proud to be in that Kings Guard which may show their wonderful skills with these beautiful horses. And there , we exactly can see and feel the loyalty and disciplin just for one thing, for their soverein. (sorry for my bad english).Good luck and health to them all and PEACE wishes an old horsewoman.
You did well with your English. "Sovereign" is always tricky to get spelled correctly, & you only missed the most commonly missed letter, the "g" at the end. I'm a spelling "geek," as they call me in America, so I get it right more often than most folks. Passing it on as an FYI, not a critique! 😊.
@@1nerdse thank you for your sweet little help. 🤭
I hope Charles III will keep the trappings of Great Britain pageantry and not end what has always been the best show in Europe.
The best show in the world. We need Charles to be the King his mother raised him to be, as we hope William will be when his time comes, now more than ever the world needs the British Monarchy to lead us on, God save the King
Best show in Europe is Paris Opera Ballet. All else are superannuated Clydesdales by comparison
Of course he won't..has someone( Leftie) suggested he will ?
@@briseboydoubt that
Chances of him going against his beloved mother's wishes and (good!) habits are highly unlikely. Besides, the tourist board would hate it!
No other country in the world does pomp and pageantry like the British. 🇨🇦🥰👍🏻
don't forget "circumstances"...
Have you ever seen the RCMP Musical Ride?
@@user-gm6mf1cz1p Yes I have seen it a couple of times. I’ve also seen the Changing of the Guard on Parliament Hill 3 or 4 times. 😊❤️🇨🇦👍🏻
I certainly hopes this display of pure pageantry and beauty from the period starting from WW1 and continuing until now. I'm from America and this warmed my heart. I know I'm late in posting a comment but this just now came across my feed. Absolutely nice to watch during so much upheaval.
Much respect from Texas. Wonderful work between horses and riders!!! Best wishes to all! 💕💕💕
Being from US.I love to watch the Kings Guards.Ceremonies,and them on duty.I wished the tourists would show better behavior though.I appreciate these soldiers as I do America 's. They fought and risked theirs lives.Hod bless and protect them.
AMEN !!!!!!!
Who is hod ?
King's Troop. Married 39years to a Grenadier Guard.
What a sight to behold. The beautiful horses and the soldier’s in their fine uniforms. The organisation, the practice that has to be done behind the scenes. I’m delighted I came across this video on KZhead. I would never have seen it otherwise even if I had come to London. It made me glad that there is still a place for tradition and one that can keep, and look after, so many horses beautifully.
I cried
Yes, lovely horses, complex drill and great display. Bit fancier than my old parade ground and marching in AUS !
I wonder how hard all that paving is on their shoes and hoofs ? I'm sure they would keep the blacksmiths busy !
Totally amazing ,dedicated to their traditions ,much respect.horses are stunning as always
I think I forgot to breathe. Just amazing.
I am so glad other men and women feel like I do, thank you.
I love the artillery: the uniform, the bay horses, the usual attitude of both troopers and horses...they are my most favourite ones.
From Oracle Arizona USA, I salute the Kings Guard and all the participants therein. I just love the majesty of it all! Beautiful!
It's fantastic to see this. I never knew how much work goes into such an amazing parade
Beautiful. Proud. Disciplined. A joy to watch! Thank you!
I love this regiment, magnificent horses and guards.
Not Guards. Gunners of The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
And mostly women, by the looks of things in this outing. @@CBTinstructor
Upwards of 70 horses. Standing for an inordinately long period of time. Impressive training. Riders and horses. And the tack team.
Cruel to the horses, and I'm a Brit! Not impressed with 30 plus minutes of stillness. Ohio State Marching Band - now that is breathtaking. Apart from that cheers and good will to the regiments back home.
@@deirdremcnamara385 Interesting observation. And I feel the same way when I see trail horses saddled and tied up waiting for riders. So what’s the difference?. I think it’s because these horses (the ones in the video) are attended. And they are not just tied off. Now I need to think about whether that really makes a difference. (One thing about the military is “hurry up and wait” so this kind of situation is probably inevitable.)
Just found this and got to say amazing great job done by everyone God bless you all.got to say the British di things in style thank you all soldiers horses and all support.xx
I feel sorry for those enslaved horses
Number one in the world and always will be..The British never fail to impress and amaze with their incredible performances and military skills. They know how…
Those horses all have such different personalities and attitudes about going to "work". There is one that is obviously the work comedian, there are the grumpy ones, not quite ready to get on with the days activities. You can see the ones that are thinking "ho hum", another day on the job This was really enjoyable to watch,
Yes, they definately would all have their own character.!
Thank You to everyone who makes these outstanding displays possible. It's so important to keep these Traditions and History alive today. I am filled with Pride, Honour and Amazement at the horsemanship, horses, precision and outstanding dedication to duty that everyone displays. Perth, Australia. God Bless You Always.
The US Army Cavalry also has Caisson Unit out of Colorado, I believe. Twice they came for a week long stay with demonstrations at carriage competition held annually for 50 years just outside of Rochester, NY. The demonstrations were absolutely amazing to watch. As I was competing in the show I was able to be in the stabling area & witness the prep work the soldiers put into each performance. As to the performance, seeing them charge into the arena at a full gallop, do a figure of 8 pattern to position the canon, unhitching the horses, firing the canon, re-hitch & charge back out - all in much less than 10 minutes, was breath taking. These solders made & repaired all harness & saddlery, along with all of their other duties. I believe it was a 2 yr rotation, then back to a regular duty station. From my understanding the King’s Guard is also rotational & these are trained military soldiers. I wish they got the respect they deserve when they are posted at the gates. They are soldiers, first & foremost, not there as a photo op prop to make tourist happy. I thank the military for their service to their respective nation.
Pity the tourists cannot understand this.
An historical plaque would be beneficial at the Gates to educate the pubic.
I feel transported back to time of Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington, a great man.

This video was diasapponting. Typical British, all show without real substance.
My dad at 18 before war rode free rider head of the column expert rider,went on to be a RSM Gurkhas.
I'm glad i saw this. Horses are beautiful and the soldiers are, too! ❤❤🇺🇸
Thankyou for this great video. Regards from London, Ontario, CANADA
You cannot beat the British, fantastic display.❤
I can still remember back in the 70s walking u[ Park Lane and then suddenly hearing this tremendous roar . Then to see the Artilliary carriages and horsemen literally galloping at full speed down Hyde Park. What a sight to see and hear. Stirs the heart in a way that nothing else done. To think these were all used in battle in WW1 and now ceremonial however the riding skills still remain a sight to behold.
I am an American but very much loved the late RHQEII. I love the traditions and pageantry, and how all the countries work together. I applaud those who work so hard to raise money for the charities. It would surely be amazing to see this type of event in person! I had no idea it involved so many lovely, trained horses and so many dedicated staff involved in putting this together so beautifully. It was so beautiful, so regal, I am in awe! I am looking forward to the reign of HRHKC III! I am, however, so disappointed to learn how much money was "stolen" from the greedy, lazy, lying, and ungrateful Megan Markle, especially after everyone there worked so hard to make her feel welcome and a part of the family. I believe all of us are so disgusted with her and her mother's behavior. It's deplorable! 😢
Glad to read a top comment from a fellow Queen Elizabeth 2 admirer. Still miss her & expect to see her walking or riding her horse round Windsor, she never hide away & you could be walking in Windsor park & the Queen would ride past chatting away to whoever she was out riding with (usually her racehorse trainer), she would always say hello & comment on the weather). Windsor definitely feels different without her & Prince Philip, even now, as the saying goes 'a light has gone out', very true. The Queen would approve that you saw through Markle, MM & Harry even lied to the Dene of Windsor at their wedding rehearsal, the Queen had the order of service written & it was written giving their birth names, the lawful names for the ceremony, Henry & Rachel. MM wasn't happy & told the Dene that they had authority to change the service address from Rachel to Meghan, a blatant lie. During the ceremony when the Dene says Henry & then Meghan, you can see the instant outrage in the Queen's face & composure, Philip also instantly shoots her a side glance & from that moment the Queen must have known MM was trouble, trouble that was happy to lie to a man of God, in the sacrid chapel of the Queen of England. That has to be one of the biggest insults imaginable to the Queen not to mention how upset the Dene was when he learnt the truth. Harry knew how much upset this would cause & this is when he shouted at a member of staff "what M wants, M gets". How arrogant. She orchestrated the lot. He went along with it so they deserve each other. How could he do that to his family for someone he had known for 5 mins??. How hurtful, I would be devastated if my brother did this, I would never get over it. William's heart must be broken & also bitter, thank goodness he had Catherine. Harry has gone to far with the lies, lost any likeability or sympathy from us Brits, traitor.🇬🇧
@@cindygardener-collinsmimi531 I think Rachel threw a fit about the crown SHE wanted to wear. I cannot believe what followed. She made Princess Catherine cry as well as Princess Charlotte! Who intentionally hurts a 3 or 4 year old!!! All they have done and said was heartbreaking, especially to the beloved Queen. I think when they stole her private nickname, and Rachel had it set so it could not be changed when the Queen Elizabeth learned of it. When she said they were just one plane crash away from the throne I was in disbelief! They are both so rotten to the bone! Wicked and evil! They make me sick! 🤮 I don't get why they have not been stripped of their titles and Harry hasn't been removed from the LOS. They did it to former Prince Andrew and took away his security too. He didn't make a fuss. He wasn't convicted, and didn't spent years telling lies about the family for money. He was a war hero. I know this will come back to dim-witted Harry and Rachel tenfold. And when it does, I wouldn't want to be anywhere nearby! PS I didn't understand why she didn't get married with her real name and I thought they said Harry, not Henry as well. Is their marriage even legitimate without real names?!? I really hope Hairless Harry the Handbag is deported and sent to Africa and treated like the people of Baka. My heart aches for the Monarchy. I think I should have been born across the pond! 🥺😭🇬🇧🇺🇲 It's too late. KCIII can still love his son without a title!
@@sheriszajna-mckeon9902 the titles can only be removed by an act of Parliament, the King has no political power, even then this only removes the title of "Duke". the title of "Prince" remains as it his birthright, in this event Megsy becomes Princess Henry. though you may be sure that she will style herself as Princess before you could say anything
Amazing, beautiful 👍🇺🇲🇬🇧
This is fantastic ad kudos to my British heritage. Ottawa, Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing this awesome event! I probably will never have the opportunity to go to England and see in person. It was great!
Beautiful horses and soldiers, thank you for sharing this video ❤
I am pleased to say that the Royal Horse Artillery are back at their Woolwich depot. I have seen them out on exercise and they are a bautifu sight. Welcome home one and all!
I used to watch these wonderful horses going past my window when I lived in London.
I've watched many short videos of the King's Troop RHA in performance, but this is the first time I've seen them forming up. Of all the British military units I've watched, the KT RHA are my favorites, a combination of uniforms, equipment, and especially horses; what amazing animals!
the horse are amazing. Well trained and work so well with the troops.
@@raphaelandrews3617A wonderful relationship, for sure . . . years of training for both partners.
Amazingly high proportion of women in this particular regiment. They are certainly doing a very fine, and very skilled, job.

Fascinating. Proud to see a few females doing the job very well x
They look ridiculous. Like men in women's sports, in reality, they would never be able to do the actual duty they pretend to, here.

I love these guards and horses . They make all soldiers proud. And the King. I’m US ,Florida and this is amazing. I have no ties with UK but I’m very proud of these kings guards and horses.
Don't forget that these guncarriages took part in WW1 in the fields of battle, and the use of them for the cerimonial purposes is an extremely important skill.
My grandfather served with the RA and RHA in WW1. He lied about being able to ride and found himself riding the 'wheeler' (the biggest horse nearest the limber which provided whatever braking that muscle could provide) so had to learn to ride pretty quickly. Came through the war unscathed but his brother lost a leg in the infantry.
Are you sure that these guns were not recovered from the Boers after they were lost during the Anglo Boer War 1899-1902?
@@colinedwards7367 I think that as the 13 pounder RHA gun didn't enter service until 1904, these are not the same guns lost at Colenso.
Yes maybe. There's life on this planet. But not as we know it. Be prepared. Just saying that secret societies create humans that don't look human to me. They don't have a name or a colour. But they do have companies. And a virtual army of employees. They buy votes. So is the food good where you are or may you do just as well if you had to line up for an hour to get actual food. Not packaging and is having come via so many hands and trucks that it could be that is not food at all. Just looks like it is on the box. Another skill is knowing how to utilize the natural resources in one's own neighbour and regional area. If we can have a feast of unleavened bread it is worth it for people who don't know how to mix water salt and flour together., and how to make a hot griddle useful in its entirety. Like when you bake cup cakes after cooking a roasted piece of meat or a joint., because fuel or power to heat the oven that's already hot shouldn't be wasted. Or too ,to pew.. dry socks?? Lol . I hand wash my socks every day. Meat in the old days in new countries like Australia was pretty much alright to eat whether it was roasted or boiled with a bone or as a cut., but not these days. You must heed the bible king James and only boil a cut. Don't boil anything with a bone in it. Birds for eating also. Unless they're 💯 percent organically raised and able to move around so that they don't get black leg rot from no muscle activity to move the lymph around. 2023 horses are getting pressure cuffs run hydrolically - pneumatic pressure cuffs because ,"horses are prone to lymphatic stress in the lower limbs because of a lack of musculature," Professor Schinder of Sth Carolina says but l can't see that God made ba mistake with their design and think it's more like that an excess fluid in legs and feet from strains and injuries is perhaps soft hooves in cold damp ? for too long. Like donkeys have moisture sensitive hooves and if you want to read more about this go to Erica Jurgen Hoof blog. The black bones in caged meat hens can't be good for humans to eat. Iron and decaying lymph. And anything else that's diseased we're not supposed to eat. Just because it's drenched in gravey.... no 👎 do not eat it. Practise making your own unleavened bread at home and the children will be happier wherever they might be in the world because they're being recognised when we as adults and leaders make it so that their concerns matter and that there's something can be done about it immediately.
Thank you for the context. I want to watch these and learn some about the kings guard but I don't think the style of the videos on this channel do them justice.
What a history these Guards have, very proud.
Very well trained and very thorough but, hardly, speechless given the excellence that comes as standard with so much of our respected and beloved armed forces.
Many is the story, now largely lost to history, of men in anguish or wounded horses patiently standing awaiting their master after some battle in which these magnificent creatures were shot to pieces. Never Forget!
NEVER FORGET OUR MILITARY. PAST AND PRESENT.........
I'll say this for the UK they honor and respect their troops!
Living through WW2 as a child I have NEVER lost my respect for our Military; have lived in the U.S since 1957 and have retained my respect for the job they do and their willingness to put their life on the line. Likewise Firefighters, Police, First Responders whose skills are awesome, these men and women also put their lives on the line for us, truly amazing and awe inspiring ❤❤❤
The UK should be exceedingly proud of this outstanding team.
Just wonderful so much to be proud of uniforms soldiers and those wonderful horses.
Hullo from Australia, I love watching the King's Guards.❤😊
Those horses are absolutely gorgeous
Absolutely beautiful!! Outstanding horsemanship, beautiful horses, I honored to see!
Thank you for watching! 👍 So glad you enjoyed it! 👏
Years ago, I visited Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC and was awed by the caissons in processions at various places throughout. Never thought about all the preparation involved or the history behind them. This is such a pleasure to see.
I went to the procession at Arlington when my uncle was buried there. It WAS remarkable and very moving. It demonstrated immense respect for those military personnel who defied our country every day and the sacrifices that they AND their families make. …Unlike trump who has said that captured POW’s and those killed in action are “SUCKERS AND LOSERS.” Shameful! He then says that our military “loves” him and hugs the flag in a foolish histrionic attempt to convince his adoring followers that he loves this country. His feeble minded, vociferous, adamant, reality deficit worshippers STILL are unable to understand that he loves ONLY HIMSELF. …not them, not this country ….HIMSELF, power and the money he can suck out of them. He, like all amazing conmen, has an incredible gift of pandering and influencing the hopefully vulnerable and unfortunately susceptible who actually DO love our country. They look to him as a savior. HE’S NOT.
AGREE!!!
It seems so strange to see the CRIII cypher on the saddle pad/blanket after a lifetime of ERII.
Speak English.
A lot of hard work goes into keeping these horses gun carriages etc in impeccable order ,magnificent.
Absolutely Stunning 😍, Awesome to watch. Thank you for posting 🙌🙌🫡🫡🫡

Nothing compares to the pageantry of UK. My birthplace and I've missed it for 70 pl.us years.
Absolutely beautiful to watch
Proud, well trained unit. Magnificent mounts too. They have every right to be proud!
Takes me straight bak to childhood; before being rehoused they were based in St Johns Wood on aptly named Ordinance Hill. Going to exercise on the Heath they passed our house about 7am. Little traffic around so you heard them coming; the majority were ridden in triple file, entral guy mounted & controlling 2 more horses on leading reins
Truly amazing sight! Thank you for enabling me to see 😊
The horses- so disciplined they're almost human!
So impressive! The gorgeous horses! ❤
From one of.your yankee cousins. Thank you for this video. Only chance i will ever have to see it. Blessings.❤😂
My brother was with this troop over 40 years ago they are very hard working and they love their horses x
Thank you for sharing this video
I love this. However, being ex Royal Navy i can confirm first-hand that we shifted and lifted 12 pounder field guns by manpower - sailor power 💪
People should be a little quiet and respectful, this not a football game
Very well organized team 🐎❤️
It did not leave me speechless but very impressed at the skill and dedication of our armed forces and immensely proud of my country. In these times of social change that we are forced to watch on all the British channels of our television screens every night thank god for things that remain constant .
Better than watching them in their displays. Amazing. Thank you.
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you Australia 🇦🇺
AMAZING! Glorious animals !
I'm really pleased to see a "Horse Ambulance" included in the proceedings. Both humans and horses should have a medical stand-by vehicle and team on the ready for any type of public showings. This is good planning and management and I'm really glad to see it's in place. Well done. 👍 🐎 👍
Wow! Such magnificent horses. They are such a pleasure to watch and the guardsmen look so superb!❤ Thanks for sharing! Loving your videos. I wish I could of have seen more of these drills when I was visiting.
Those beautiful animals.
Excellent simply excellent!👍👍👍
I really do enjoy this that they kept the traditional old guard going who is part of the history I have a pass queen, who cared very much for her country and the generations before her. It’s nice to see the king keep the tradition alive.
Tradition at it's finest
Megan and Harry watch and learn! Lovely to watch the horses, handler's and the team follow traditional royal protocol. From NZ

Beautiful, l'm use to seeing it as a child, from Canada
I'm not British but even as an American I love watching these
Thank you so very much Britain 🇬🇧
Fantastic display ❤i am so proud to be british thank you for sharing the video ❤xx
I wish there was a closeup view of the harnessing the teams to the caissons. This is just fascinating. It is fun to see the soldiers polishing the hooves to be inky black, too.
Wondering what is the purpose of the white things held by the riders on the hitches?
@@judyc9380 crops to touch the horse next to them to cue the horses to move direction. They just brush the horse, not hit it.
Thought they were limbers
I mean, enlarge your screen to full and then enlarge again with your fingers diagonally....if that make more sense or is more confusing.
Neat's foot oil!
No one can do this like us BRITS. Makes one very proud.
What a waste of human resources!!! Why continue such traditions in our modern age??? No one is more than anyone else to give so much effort continue old fashionef beliefs such as royal blood. At one time, 150 years ago, they were the ruling class but now we chose our leaders. Kings are fairy tales.
Delusional.. nothing special about the british royalty and their guard.
My father was a lance bombardier and Bren gunner in the Royal Artillery on a 6-pownder anti-tank gun and saw action in the Italian Campaign in WW2. He was permanently deaf in his right ear, the result of a German tank shell. He often spoke of officers in the following fashion.. "If you can't fight, wear a big 'at." Looking at the officers here, I can understand what he meant!
What’s your point?, no doubt your father was a warrior and you must be immensely proud of his service nevertheless I am perplexed by your comment, please explain further, are you suggesting that if you wear a big hat you are somehow lesser than those who don’t?
This is such an honor to see this.
.......I saw them "live" 10 days ago at Buck Palace. Such beautiful animals (and the horses too! lol)
Wish more people would put their phones down and applaud their soldiers and the beauty of this ceremonial march. Beautiful horses. God Bless them all a d God Bless the British ❤ 🇬🇧
Living history - wonderful for understanding the evolution of warfare and mans reliance on horse.
I'm speechless about this whole thing, literally!!! Okay, get this started...
Once again, no one can do it like the British.
That was amazing to see! If I ever travel I'd go to the UK and observe these parades!
What kind of horses are they?? Morgan's?
I understand the skill of both man and horse this was breath taking thank you for viewing
Wow watching from tennessee this is simply amazing, just incredible this God bless them all!
My grandmother & great grandmother and grandfather Eckersall came to the U.S. on a ship in the 1800's. This has great influence in the world. Thank you for this tradition .Jan Luby Wall.
Beautiful horses trained well!
Beautiful! and I like the horse ambulance at the end. I hope they had not to use this day. Greetings from Germany.
In 1982 the IRA set off a bomb at Hyde park killing 7 horses and 11 military personnel, there is a statue at Hyde park in memory of them.
As a NZer I am in love with British traditional pagaentry!
