- The Household Cavalry regiments - the Blues and Royals and The Lifeguards- were on summer holidays in Scotland, and came to Yellowcraig Beach on two separate days to have fun. And have fun they did!
This was my Grandads Regiment. He fought in the first world war. He loved his horses 🐎. He would sleep at their feet to help keep them calm. When the bombs were going off. Our dad told us a lot of great and sad stories about our grandad in the war.Ty to all of our Armed Forces who keep us all safe. Ty from Glasgow Scotland.
Eine wundervolle Beschreibung dessen was ich bei dem Anblick der Bilder Gesichter und Bewegungen spüre.Zusammenhalt in Leid und Freude ist die Basis, die alles trägt. Allen Truppen, ob deutsch, schottisch, britisch.... , die uns schützen, ein von ❤️ kommendes Dankeschön 😉 Ty from Germany, Rhineland 😀
@anni50ful Maybe they both knew each other with being in the same regiment. Did you also know that the regiment fought at the somme. My dad told us some great and bad stories about what happened to the soldiers.
@brendapurvis4803 what a sweet memory. Your Grandad sounds like he was a wonderful man. My Granddaddy Woolfolk was in the USMC during WWI, also a caring man. No matter where they were from, they don't make 'em like they used to. Thanks for sharing that wonderful memory.
@scottishhellcat Ty. Here's another story. When the war was over when my grandad got home. His uniform was covered in lice and fleas. At the back of the close where my great grandparents lived there was a big white ceramic sink he got stripped off and scrubbed himself clean with a bar of soap and cold water got dried and put on his clean uniform and went up the stairs to see his mum and dad. Two of my grandads brothers were killed in the war. My grandad got gassed to.
@@anni50ful Ann have you tried searching Ancestry UK or Find my past they both have military records you can do a free trail and if there are records to be seen you can do a months subscription and get all records held.
Why can I only give one 'thumbs up on this? It's worth a million Likes to see the horses AND the riders unwind.
Thanks for this , great to see horses and guards having so much fun and freedom a relief for them all from ceremonial and guard duties . For all the so called armchair " experts " who accuse the guards of being poorly trained and bad horsemanship watch this please . Now this is what you call a holiday !!
Watch one of Musical Rides. Anyone who questions horsemanship would be embarrassed after seeing it
Well I have no experience of horses but how on earth can people claim that when the guys and girls are riding bare back so no stirrups etc to control the horse other than their own legs. It was amazing to see the joy on both riders and horses.
So lovely to see horses enjoying a good canter and gallop, also seems so joyful to the the guards as well. Such a beautiful film💖
Awesome to see the horses n guards having a good time
@@GlendaRatcliffe ❤ They need and deserve a good holiday after all abuse and noise of the tourists in London! ❤
What a beautiful sight! These stunning animals enjoying the freedom of "letting loose" and the guys and girls having just as much fun. Beautiful!
Especially after the great job at the King's Comenoration (?) in Scotland and all the prep they would have had to do, not forgetting transport up from London. Well done.
does my heart good to see them frolicking and enjoying themselves so much....smiling widely
One of the only places in the world were you can still see an active calvary unit charging down the beach. Magnificent!
@kcuz 4091 and enjoying it too! Let's hope we see more of these charges!
Magnificent! Gave me chills. What fun and joy! Great filming, sound, music &, stills! All around stellar production. Job well done.
I completely agree with every word you said! This is a beautiful video!
Great way to enjoy vacay
I hope this stops the ridiculous comments and accusations about the I’ll treatment of these wonderful horses. Riding bareback sorts out the riding skills 😂 Pony club and gymkhanas were a great way to start kids out having fun while learning to ride well. Took me a few tumbles but you do learn. It’s much easier with a saddle and stirrups. Reminds me of why I’ve had a life long love of horses ❤Magnificent animals. Easier to love than many humans. 😂
And a lot more cleverer than humans as well! They are beautiful majestic beasts, and are in excellent condition too! The riders and horses deserve this on a regular basis, as it cannot be much fun having to stand for an hour, being poked and prodded by the tourists, who seem to think that this is a Tourist exhibition, and should be reprimanded for becoming fed up with all the inane touching they have to endure! Lets hope that England overcomes ceremonial "duties" and their King, arranges that the horses are thought more of, and protected! I am neeither English or British, but animal welfare should be "Universal"
@@margaretsmallallan28 ... Good gracious did you actually watch the horses and their excellent treatment and realise how happy they are? Instead of watching lovely British footage of well treated horses I suggest you look around your local area and ACTUALLY HELP those ill treated animals.
Great to see them having fun both horses and soldiers thankyou for your service both soldiers and horses 💖
Applying a wide definition to Loving horses or any other animal is not the same as loving human beings.
Oh what a sight, so exciting to see. Such beautiful horses, having a well deserved break.
The grooming will be fun after all that salt and sand!! Fantastic I hope we can see more videos like this. 👋🇬🇧
Grooming and cleaning the tack as well , worth it though !
What a treat to see everyone relaxing and having fun especially after putting up with all the rudeness from the tourists.
Great to see everyone having lots of fun, brilliant to see the horses running so freely a welcome change from London streets, not forgeting the boys and girls having such freedom without a uniform in sight.
I also thought the music was very good too.
It was a wonderful day for sure!
Do they all look the same?
@conradcodfish8638 Yes, apart from the trumpeters horses
So many wonderful moments in this video. At 6:00 the absolute happiness of the rider cannot be beat. The horses racing on the beach and the ones coming from behind to win is spectacular. I am recommending these videos to friends for the pure joy they bring.
The best bit of TV I have watched in years x Fantastic so proud to be British x Thank you for your service x❤️🇬🇧
I wish I had known they were going to be here. It’s not far from me, I would have loved to have been there. What an amazing video! It was so good to see them all having fun and great to see some familiar faces away from the formality of their usual surroundings. I hope the stupid woman who argued with me that the guards couldn’t ride and had to be led everywhere by a foot soldier sees this video. I hope we get to see much more of the guards and their beautiful horses at play like this.
I’m the same, it’s a short bus journey and walk for me and one of my favourite beaches. Would have loved to have been there ❤
This gave me goosebumps. The best life for the horses and their riders and a lovely reward for carrying out their ceremonial duties.
They did a wonderful job on 6th....EDinburgh Mile is either uphill or down, old cobblestones and it had been raining....very concerning...but they made it safely by going slower. Just ask any piper who had to do this, play at the same time (not to mention embarrassing) and they can tell some tales....goes really for all those soldiers who have to march.....not for the faint of heart and they usually make it look effortless.
USA here.....that was absolutely fantastic, reliving the "charge of the Light Brigade" full gallop down the beach....then bareback riding into the deep...the horses and the riders seemed to be enjoying both...thank you🐎🐎👍👍
Absolutely wonderful to watch guards and horses having such fun! I get anxious though when they get in the deep water. These men, women and beautiful horses are the pride of the UK! I’m American, but I feel like I know them all from watching the videos and I’m just as proud of them as a non-Brit can be. Thank you for this brilliant video! Great job!
England? Surely that's Britain unless you think the UK is England as most Americans seem to do!
England? Surely that should be the UK!
@@janesmith2826 So right! Apologies, I was so excited about the video I wasn’t as attentive as I should have been. That video made my day!
Nicely stated, @marilan3455
It's a indicator of the trust the mounts have with their troopers that they will allow them to be taken into quite deep water without panic, but that will be above most peoples observation. Unlike Holkham Beach in Norfolk, their usual summer camp HQ, there is some nasty undercurrents at this beach which need to be considered, the trooper may not feel them but his mount certainly will. Interestingly, the Regiment has just been issued with the new Ajax armoured fighting vehicle for its other "operational" role.
That was just Sublime to watch what fun you all had and the horses that was just what they needed. Thank you for the great video and Thank you for your service Godbless you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great to see these fine horses having some much needed fun
So far from the hustle and bustle of London. So lovely to see horses and guards having so much fun.
These magnificent horses deserve every minute of their holiday at the sea shore in Scotland. Their guard duties in London must surely try their patience and swimming horses is a wonderful thing to bind the rider and the horse together.
Incredible that holiday makers with children and dogs are right there on the beach. How lucky they are to see this joyful outing.
I suspect they were enjoying the whole things as much as the horses and soldiers. It was so wonderful to watch.
I think a lot of them would be local residents.
That's me holding on for dear life at 5:22
Cheers for the video👌
You hung in there, for sure! I've got an email almost ready to go out to you.............😊
Good job to all...big fan. Just watched again, incredible, such a joy to see the pleasure of both the guards and horses. Were Arnie & Wrangler there?
AMAZING lovely to see the lovely guards an their horses chilling relaxing an having fun just what they truly deserve Brilliant video loved watching ❤❤❤❤❤🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
I recognize some of the guards from Horse Guards videos. Several of those magnificent Horses are familiar also .I only know Arnie by sight and name. Unfortunately. Those horses are "ROCK STARS" and very tolerant of the disrespectful tourists. This was a joyful video. Thank You from Chicago.
I only recognized one of the big bosses
@charlottecunningham2141 some of the mustaches and hair in buns or plaits identified them.
Hope they took poor Arnie there for a break....He just needs space around him (like 2ft) and cannot be blamed for biting as some of the tourists are clueless and cruel.
The normal holiday venue for the Household Cavalry and where they have their summer camp is Holkham Beach in Norfolk. There is plenty videos of the horses at play in the sea as well as the beach going back many years. These are the only places where they can practice a line abreast cavalry charge at the gallop, or near to the gallop. As a matter of interest, if you enter into the Search Box above, "British Army new AJAX armoured fighting vehicle" this is what the Household Cavalry have been issued with as their new toy for their other field "Operational" role........when they don't have their horses!
Blockbuster movie! Superb photography and filming. I recognised some of the troopers and the Boss. What a wonderful holiday for all. So good to see the horses and the troopers having such a great time. The locals (and the handsome dog) must have loved it all.
Wow - how lovely to see them having such fun!
Wonderful to see the love between rider and horse. I am amazed by the riding skill of these men and women. Lovely to see such enjoyment. I can't stop smiling.
Wonderful isn't it😘
Always said I was born in the wrong country, outstanding ladies and lads
I feel the same way, though our ancestors on Dad's side were Scots. Mom's side is English and Irish. Magnificent people and landscape.
Peace to all.
❤
It's weird ey, I mean I'm Aussie through and through but something's always drawn Me to Scotland. My Dad was adopted in the 50's. My Bro did ancestry for My B'day last year, very much Scottish, always thought we were Scandinavian... but there you go lol
Lads and lasses even hahaha 😆
No way you can call that work
Beautiful video! Thank you for showing the guards and horses on holiday. Nothing like a relaxing trip to the beach to bring out the kid in all of us. I’m a huge fan from America.❤️❤️
Me, too! 🇺🇸
Me too 🇺🇲
Gave chills! To be there in person as the groups gallops by!!!!
Good to see 4 legged and 2 legged absolutely brilliant sentient beings having such a fun time at the beach...they really deserve it.❤
The sheer joy of both horses and riders brought tears to my eyes!
They all deserve free time,they have to put up with so much xx
It was great to see so many smiles!
To the person(s) who filmed and posted this thank you
Beautiful. So proud of them all.
Brilliant,so lovely to see them ALL enjoying themseves ❤
Fantastic post. Loved every minute and so did the guards and horses. This is such a good way for guards and horses to bond and have a great time, they deserve it. Great filming and pictures. I see Corporal of the Horse in command and happy, he certainly loves his job.❤❤❤
This made me cry happy tears seeing the horses and guards so happy ❤❤❤❤
So lovely to see everyone having fun😊
What a beautiful film. So lovely to see the horses and riders having fun together.
Fun and therapeutic for both horse and rider. Lovely to watch!
What a joy to watch.. Kelpies spring to mind seeing them all in the water...
Nice to see the horses and guards relaxing and enjoying the beach away from the hustle and bustle of London and ceremonial duties. Thank you for posting.
OMG that was BRILLIANT! !!!!! I bet the horses loved that. Scotland the Brave ❤💙💖💜💛💚
Love Household Cavalry. Hope to see them live someday. And I am an American. My dad fought in WWII. He said Great Britain stood alone against the Nazi. Of course with some help from the US but we weren't fully engaged in the battles until after Pearl Harbor.
Brings a whole new meaning to horsing around...horseplay...FUN! And not a pushy tourist in sight.
What a privilege to see these beautiful horses enjoying themselves and they certainly are love to you all and keep safe
Thank you. I was hoping that the holiday for the horses would be filmed this year. I loved every moment. ❤❤🇦🇺
Thank you for posting. Really enjoyed the sights, and the actual filming was impeccable.
Horses are good swimmers and the water is good for them. I have done the same with my horses and we both enjoyed it and it is fun. It’s also a great way to cool down after a hot day. Great video enjoyed immensely.
A really heartwarming, great video. Thank you so much, for all your tremendous work over the past few months. All of you, including those beautiful horses, deserve many more moments like this. God Bless you all!
Truly wonderful to watch, people don't realize that the Household Calvary is more than two horse standing in front of the horse guards.
It's good to see them having a fun day out.
And how much the guards ĺove their horse.
Just beautiful. Made me cry.
The dog walkers have never had so much craic, fabulous sight. I love watching the cavalry. Your service is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
What an amazing and uplifting film, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this well deserved break from their London duties! Beautiful to see, thank you for sharing.
Absolutely wonderful.
How lovely to see them ALL enjoying themselves. Lifeguards, and the Blues and Royals. And to see them barebacking riding too. The freedom they must have felt. Terrific.
Loved the sea music...
Having a wee weep. How beautiful is that. I used to play on that beach as a child then introduced it to my child as he was growing up.
When you ride horses in deep water the motion and connection is magical……. I remember it still from my teens and I’m in my sixties now…..
You also understand the inspiration for Fairground Carousels with the up and down movements of the carved wooden horses!!!
Thank you for sharing
Fun and frivolity well deserved by riders and steeds🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Everybody looks so happy and having fun. The horses are having a great time. You all deserve a well earned holiday!
🇬🇧🦋loved seeing everyone enjoying themselves horses and guards ,what a fantastic sight .you all deserved it .proud of you all🦋🇬🇧
It's lovely to see them on holiday and having fun. They look like ther having so much fun and letting themselves go. All animals with a job need a holiday just to stress release and have fun. Lovely vid. 👍😍❤️
Beautiful. Thank you. I’m sure horse and rider had a great day. God bless you all.
What an incredible video❣️ It's SO good to see those incredibly disciplined horses and riders having such a good time❣️❣️❣️ All of it is just poetry in motion❣️❣️❣️💖💝
Es gibt keine schöneren Bilder von Soldaten und Pferden….. wunderbarer Tag und sicher ein großer Spaß für alle. Danke, für diese schönen Eindrücke👏👏👏👏👏👏
Looks like a good time was had by all … including spectators (2 and 4 legged ones)! What beautiful horses!
So wonderful to see, it made me cry.
And fun was had by all, such a magnificent sight
Wonderful to see the horses and guards having so much fun
Thank you for a brilliant film. so good to see both horses and riders have some fun on the beach.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful fun filled extravaganza. Much love to you all & much appreciation for your service 😍😍😍😍
I could watch this everyday. First time it made me cry to see such beauty. Music, video and photos were incredible. I thought I'd hear Chariots of Fire at one point. I can't begin to imagine the work it takes to care for these beautiful creatures. I'm a dog person but horses are second. Here in Colorado we have mostly quarter horses. Love Q10. Thank you
What a wonderful video. So joyful, such marvelous horses and great riders
What a total utter joy that was to watch. As former rider and horse owner, now too old, I miss times like that.
What a joyous outing. A pleasure to behold. Thank you for sharing this. I adore horse guards and this video made my day.
Such majestic creatures. I'm in awe. So happy to see the troopers both 4 legged and 2 legged enjoying the freedom.
A wonderful sight.
I taught my horse to go in the river and swim with me. Took me 2 weeks and after that she loved it. I would come back from a hot ride , take off her saddle and we went straight in the river. Best days of my life. My beautiful thoroughbred x connemara mare.
❤ this! It looks like the end to an amazing holiday for these beautiful horses! What a way for them to de stress ❤
Love this. The guards and the horses deserve a day to just relax and have a bit of fun. I found myself smiling several times watching this. There were so many beautiful moments here!
How beautiful.The horses must have enjoyed themselves.
GORGEOUS HORSES!!!😊 Men aren't too bad either!!😊 OOPS! Almost forgot the beautiful women 😊
A nice break away from the Royal duties in London. The horses and guards bonding on the beach is pleasant to see.😃
This was awesome… good to see everyone including the horses having fun at the beach..❤
A well deserved vacation! Beautifully done photography.
These Beautiful Horses are stunning to watch! Thank You!🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧
The horses are beautiful, gorgeous and magnificent. I love watching the videos of the household calvary. God bless the horses, the riders, and everybody else who takes of those magnificent animals. I love them all. God love them all and keep them safe forever.
Love seeing this video each time you send it. The joy on both horses and soldiers is wonderful! ❤
Thanks again.
Beautiful! Thank you for letting us see the other side xx❤
This was an excellent display to start the day, well done! Thx for sharing ❤
4:53 the music to this part of the video is absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂. To see the beautiful creatures (I’m talking about the horses 🤭) having so much fun in the water is just so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing. ❤
What a wonderful video. Looks like the riders had as much fun as the horses.
Wow,that was so beautiful to see the horses and the guards having such a fantastic time,it really warmed my heart,they do such a wonderful job and really deserved the break,we miss you though 🥰🥰🥰😮😮😮😮😮❤❤️
I really enjoyed this wonderful video. My late husband and my late father worked with horses and loved them dearly. Watching this video you can see the love the soldiers have for their horses.❤
First time I took my pony on holiday and he saw the sea, he bolted straight into it. I had to bale out and turn him round. He absolutely loved water.
So good to see all the guards and horses having such a good time. So well deserved. Saw them many years ago having fun in a river.❤😊
The household cavalry worth every penny well done boys and girls and of course the horses all the best from an old x para
Lovely to see the lads and lassies enjoying it as much as the horses. ❤
Horses knew it was relax, play and have good time ❤️. BEAUTIFUL
