G’day, John. The opening of the video was refreshing to see. So good to see these horses being looked after so well. I will add to the dialogue about the “awards, and patches” that they are big check marks for status and promotions. In the US Military, awards and decorations over the right side of the blouse are reserved for unit and foreign nation qualifications. Typically they are “President Unit Citations”, and any airborne (parachute) awards and qualifications.

It makes a difference if a working horse compared to stationary horse. During a race, a horse can lose up to eight gallons of water - representing more than 10 per cent of its water reserves.

I took a lot of (English) lessons on a wonderful little Crabbet Arabian who had a fantastic sense of humor. One day, as I was squatting to put the girth thru the standing martingale loop, he gave me an odd look, then quite firmly and deliberately pushed me over with his beautiful little pint pot nosie, and I went right down onto my bum. He gave me another odd look, one I couldn't but interpret as the amused satisfaction of a prank well done. I quickly, anxiously scanned his stall for the pile of poop I had earlier noticed, and to my relief, it was in a far corner. He saw me looking for it, and looked even more amused. I hauled myself back up and brushed away the sawdust, petted him, and told him he is A Very Clever And Very Good Boy. ETA: He also V much enjoyed sticking his head in the water trough up to his eyeballs (had to clean my bridle a lot in the Summer), and blow bubbles.

Not everyone I am sure, because some people are afraid of them.

So the Guards can train to be Paras, well gold stars to that Trooper.✨️✨️ Yur infectious inuendos are 😂, you do brighten us all up. I think this is one of my favourite films watching the horses lol, they are so funny when putting their heads in the buckets. 🐴🐴 How people can say these horses are not looked after when u see the dedication these troopers give to look after them. That tawenism man.."oh they bite" 😂😂😂..urr yeah they do !! Good to see the Guards are given water as well,especially in this heat, the troopers in army uniform are doing a good job of looking after them.
