  • This is the British Household Cavalry, Mounted Regiment - who are typically based in London - on protection duties for the Royal Family. Here you see them on a break - on the beaches of Holkham in Norfolk - where they have the freedom to 'have some fun'.

    Just lovely, I know from personal experience just how most horses love a good canter thru the shallows at the beach. The salt water in some way is good for the tendons. I used to go bare back that way the horse could also swim without ruining and my sadle. Good on you troopers, what a wonderful break for for these equine star troopers ❤️❤️

    Good to see them being able to stretch their legs and behave like horses. I hope they all get to go 'on holiday' at least three of four times a year, their life in London must be hell for them. Just look at the way they toss their heads when on parade: probably because of the double bit in their mouth. Poor things. Living in luxurious stables and being groomed every day is not enough to make a horse happy. He has psychological needs as well, like being free to gallop as much as he likes.
