Horses on the beach! The Household Cavalry exercising their horses on Holkham Beach, Norfolk

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'.

Even the big drum horse got in a gallop!

[@lindawitherington9010]

Brilliant to see them cantering and stretching their legs they look like they are having a great time both riders and horses

[@angelalalley7593]

Cantering is such fun! ☺️

[@Rumbletummy117]

What lovely young people with their horses galloping freely. God bless them.

[@patriciacaplain6295]

C'est tellement reposant de regarder ces magnifiques chevaux 🐴. Ils méritent bien cette sortie car eux comme les gardes font un superbe travail. Merci c'est vraiment fantastique.🐴❤️💂

[@SuzieLady]

My eyes filled with happy tears seeing this. Normally watching the on duty so to see them with the troopers it’s like a burst of joy for me. Thank you for uploading this 🥰

[@helendianasalter1812]

Oh..for the summer holidays on the beach! Wonderful. 😁

[@ginnyalan]

They are excised in Hyde Park every day.

[@tianalightbourne7658]

Those horses are so well loved and taken care of. A joy to see them and their riders.

[@marianpower6711]

The big drum horse is beautiful isn't he,😍😍

[@lindasimons691]

He heats up quickly.

[@Sommie70]

He certainly is a beauty to behold,even on my iPad with its small screen!❤❤

[@joannafabian1921]

They look so happy all ears forward

[@lindalou8120]

A beautiful sight, they are as wonderful on the beach as they are on parade...both troopers and horses deserve some quality off time together...blessings and respect to each and every one xxx

[@JenniferMcCartney-nb6lt]

The beaches of north Norfolk are special. What a good location for this exercise.

[@onmytravels]

Absolutely

[@thorpsewinglessons5913]

Wonderful to see the horses enjoying the sea and sand. Bless them.Not forgetting the boys.enjoying a break. 🕊️✝️🙏🇬🇧❤️

Awesome. The human troopers look as happy as their equine counterparts. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Lovely to see these magnificent horse's enjoying their holiday

[@Josie401]

I guess the horses had the most fun. They are meant to run after all. Good to see them this way.

[@Doobeedoo-xd1mw]

What a glorious sight to behold Thank you

[@madelinesullivan2629]

Happy hols to the beautiful kings horses 🐎 so lovely to see them running free they truly deserve a break 😊

[@paulinedixon3490]

It must be exhilarating riding on the beach. Freedom. Great for the horses and the soldiers. ❤❤❤❤

[@PatriciaStowasser]

The horses are really enjoying this♥️

[@kimrose7666]

Just simply beautiful I am so happy for them all to enjoy some fun on the beach!!

[@lynclark893]

This brought tears to my eyes to see the troopers and horses enjoying quality time together being able to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings . Well deserved after the hours of guard duty at horse guards. Lovely the horses can run free and have no tourists invading their space. Enjoy every minute you deserve a well earned holiday.

[@invcark]

That is so wonderful to see the horses relaxing. It would be lovely if they let the horses 🐎 run free for a while.

[@hazelb7218]

Not really possible to do on a UK beach....unless it was totally private with no public access and no loose dogs x

[@Lee-kg7ze]

Hopefully there are paddocks where they stay that are large enough for the horses to have a run around.

[@yvonnewalesuk8035]

Those horses are loved beyond measure by the soldiers, and the horses do have the opportunity to run free... just not on a public beach.

[@emmsue1053]

@@Lee-kg7ze Main stables are on the edge of Hyde Park but obviously the King has many green spaces. People seem to assume the horses are forced to stand on concrete all their lives!! LOL.

[@gyalist]

@@Lee-kg7ze They are regularly rotated out to the Equine Training Squadron in Melton Mowbray which has grazing for more than 200 horses.

[@abigailentwistle7857]

I just love The Household Cavalry. Amazing & beautiful just can't get enough of them. Brings tears to my eyes. World Class.

Theres nothing better than to see horses galloping along the sea shore❤❤❤

[@juliem6587]

Always an amazing sight, such majestic animals on their seaside break. It's wonderful to see them cantering along the beach.

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Beautiful. That's where horses belong.

[@maude5160]

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 ❤️❤️

[@shaza7657]

What a lovely life for troopers to do a job you love thankyou

[@stuartmccall5474]

There's plenty of videos here on Y-T of the horses being ridden bareback in the open sea.

[@777heiress]

Cant help but marvel at how they do hard work and enjoy with their horses during training in different settings. I am so in awe seeing how they bond with each other.I am missing those horses to be in guard again.

[@onmytravels]

Thanks!

[@lynnbean7200]

Another lovely video thank you. The shire horse looks like the non-sporty kid hanging out with the athletes but he seems to be enjoying it as much as the others. Love seeing this.

[@sue5242]

I’m so glad these hard working horses and their handlers get some down time.

[@wendyschaumberg6850]

This is such a a treat for us who'll never get to be there... absolute joy riding, I love these videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks guys😊❤

[@lindadeller4881]

Its really nice to see the trooper and not forgetting those gorgeous beautiful horses to get some well deserved rest and relax by the sea, ans away from city life and crowds 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

I lived near Holkham & we exercised our horses there regularly, especially when the ground was too frozen in winter(sand stays soft) , but I never saw the Army there

So happy to find your channel. I was surprised to see a Clydesdale as part of the group.

What a nice break for the horses & their riders. But do the horses ever get a chance to run around in a pasture & kick up their heels? All horses need that.

[@kathellison8084]

Yes they are turned out regularly at Melton Mowbray for a break .

what a lovely idea, mixing exercise with the enjoyment of the beach...I just wonderer...how did you transported all those horses to the beach????

[@jeanetteball9054]

Dont they usually go in July, I would love to go and see them

[@paulinemegson8519]

Does the heart good…..who was it that said, “there’s something about the outside of a horse, that’s good for the inside of a man”? Whoever it was, they were right.

[@obiwankenobi6952]

Horses are made for this, not walking and trotting on pavement all day, they should be rotated once a month for Service in Town and one month break on a Country Estate to relax and ease their Joints on Hacks , the Royal Family has enough Estates to do so…❤

[@DawnKillorn]

They do 1 hour then change and they are rotated regularly

[@kathellison8084]

The horses are part of the British Army nothing to do with the Royal family . They are turned out to grass for a break regularly in Melton Mowbray .

[@hazelb7218]

At the beginning on the left is that a Drum Major horse i see????...lovely...x but please no music when they return xx

[@NikkiNoodle56]

One day in a year....😢

[@Luciasantos-by9np]

How old is this vdeo? I can`t recognize any of the troopers.

[@Luciasantos-by9np]

Neither can I....but the video is 2024 , July , it is a new one.

[@dotmurphy7279]

From Alabama, USA. Are there women in the Horse Guards? Just asking. Are the horses and riders taken up north for some summer R & R? Maybe refresher training?

[@kathellison8084]

Yes there are women Troopers in both regiments of The Household Cavalry . This is a summer break for them they also go out to grass in Melton Mowbray regularly .

My mare was still too young for this so I was the one riding the mule.😂

[@haroldinsley171]

Is this earlier in the summer than in previous years?

[@Catherine-h3f]

The horses should be in a rural place like this all year or at least most of the time instead of in a city...

[@valsorrell6160]

I hope Arnie and Ormonde got to go, I’ve been trying to see them ( Ormonde has a blaze that looks like a monkey wrench)… they deserve a day at the seaside for all the stupid tourists they bite…😁👍

[@shermoore1693]

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.

[@panamapatti3364]

some of them can barely stay on and only succeed at doing so by hanging on their mouths. Embarrassing.

[@Kim-lc3fv]

Does anyone know how the London horses are doing who got spooked and injured last month??

[@kathellison8084]

All the horses are recovering well , 3 Tennyson , Trojan and Vanquish after a break at The Horse Trust are expected to be part of Trooping the Colour . Vida the grey and Quaker are still at The Horse Trust but expected to return to duty . Great video on The Horse Trust site .

Keep the horses well away from the water. Ecoli is not a good condition. 🛑
