This is why I joined the Cavalry | British Army

/ @fabziy
The Cavalry Troopers of the Household Division are the most immaculately turned-out soldiers on earth, their magnificent ceremonial presence exceeded only by their superlative performance on warfighting operations around the world. Those mounted and marching soldiers are not just for show.
Within the Household Cavalry itself, the 'Princess Elizabeth Cup' is a competition between troopers to achieve the absolute highest standards of personal deportment.
The reward for the winners is one of the greatest possible honours a trooper can be awarded- a meeting with the King

Maintaining the standards for these horses is no easy feat. They take daily care. Troopers maintaining their kits to such perfection takes hours of cleaning and polishing. Riding skills for both the Troopers Horse and Rider is ongoing. We forget these are Military that can be called up for combat duty if needed. Bravo to all of them for their discipline. From 🇺🇸

Hi, I was born in England but moved to Ireland when I was 14 but I plan to go back to England to join the army (infantry to be precise) in a year or so but I was wondering what would be the best way to start preparing. I'm 6ft2 and 105kg and I live in a hilly countryside next to some mountains. Is there anything I should focus on in particular and or do you have any videos explaining what one should do in preparation to join?

Hello from Sedona Arizona, I came across your channel from """ London Frank "" channel, I was wondering if y'alls came across that young man who always dresses in the Red Guard coat, anyway I was just wondering if y'alls knew or know of the coolest little King's Guards London Frank, well if y'alls happened to come across this young boy please kindly give him a big O'L salute because he's always at the ready to give a salute to y'all!!!! Now I have seen him in the Castle were the Kings/Queen's Guards walk up and down the path and little Frank is always there and those troops sure do now how to get a recruitment from such a young lad! I was just wondering if y'alls could make up some official troop coin or medallion or medal with ribbon for those special kid's that y'all seem to get with every parade y'all do! So my hats off to you boy's from an old dog myself but little London Frank sure does brighten up the days around here and I was just wondering if y'alls could make it a soldier thing for these types of kid's, I recently saw the SWEDISH GUARD AND THE LITTLE BOY SOLDIER WHO HAD A POT ON TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH FOLDED UMBRELLA ACTING AS A IMAGINARY RIFLE! Such a sweet moment between those two as well! Well I know Frank and his parents get around so I was just wondering if y'alls could just make it that much more special moment between the Guard's and the local children who get mesmerized by your uniforms! But I'm glad that I came across your channel but pls REMEMBER YOU'RE YOUNGEST FAN SOON TO FELLOW GUARDS MAN LONDON FRANK! hey congratulations to y'alls on getting your awards hope you can get a good stretch in after being on top of a beautiful creature!!! So we subscribed so thx for all your sacrifices young lads, thx for keeping freedom free! Godspeed!
