Queen Elizabeth set up and sponsored the British Pony Club so that she would have competent horsemen and women for her household cavalry. Have you ever seen the US Park Police in action in Washington DC? I saw them in training as well as during crowd control between 1967-1983. When tourists become rioters, you will see what cavalry can do in close quarters.

@@LovinLnCottage You may be all that but you still missed my point. Thanks for playing though.

Absolute rubbish. Under no circumstances would these horses ever be used for crowd control.

[@John-G]

@@LovinLnCottage Absolute, complete rubbish. There's no connection between the training for police horses and the military whatsoever. As for the Pony Club, it was founded in 1929 when the Queen was three - nothing whatsoever to do with the Household Cavalry.

I do love the guard changes when there's a long guard. The trumpeter on his grey is just stunning and it's quite cool to follow him thru the lookout and then back to the yard. So was this just before or after the trooping of the colour? Cos I can see the stands are still up.

[@pauladrnec-thompson9496]

How wonderful to see this cornation and in color! I was too young to understand even a bit of what was happening when the late Queen was crowned. I thank God he has allowed me to witness this event even though I'm not a British citizen. PJ

What are the breeds of horses used by the troopers? They are all beautiful and well trained.

[@John-G]

Irish draughts and Irish draught cross.

beautifully tall horse. the english are great horseman

[@susantunbridge4612]

That is a Canadian-bred horse. It's traditional for the Mounties to give the RF horses - the Queen rode one in parades for years, Burma.

@@susantunbridge4612 Is it? Someone else in the comments said they were bred in Ireland. I have no idea where they come from, but they are trained by the Household Cavalry.

[@Sharon-bo2se]

@@susantunbridge4612 these are not RCMP horses. Burmese, as the others, was black. Another was given to the King recently, think they're up to 9 gifted. Burmese was used as a police horse when the Queen Trooped the Colours. They are bred in Ontario these days and have bred by the Mounties since the 30s. The breed has been improved by using Hanoverians and now has some of the best examples in the country. Like the Cavalry Blacks, they are fine animals and are carefully selected.

[@bonnieabrs1003]

You can see two police people mounted returning to the building ahead of the mounted guards. I’m sure they were just out of sight on the ride out. Horses do much better when an experienced horse accompany them. They’re hurd animals & prey to many animals. They have a super fight or flight reaction! Hint on the trail or out hacking, if you horse shies or won’t go through a hedge, listen to them. They have seen or heard something ahead of you.

[@erynd2524]

None of these fellows, in their historic/ ceremonial dress, are there for tourists or " looks". These are fully trained, military personnel😊Theuy take their role seriously & so should everyone else.

They're there to do 'Public Duties' - for the public. Nothing else. For the vast majority, who only stay for four years, that's all they'll ever do.

I loved the way at 4.20 the horse immediately stopped fidgeting when the guard spoke to it. Amazing! What a gorgeous creature!. (The horse wasn't half bad, either.... )
