when did the boss deal with tourists, seem to have missed that part ?

[@Wabbit_Hunta]

The "boss" wasn't there, what he saw was a member of the Household Cavalry with a spur badge on his sleeve, generally worn above any rank insignia on the right hand sleeve. It denotes that he's a riding instructor (aka a rough rider) Now a defunct role, as such, but used as an appointment. The spur badge worn by rough riders and is also worn by riding instructors in The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery

[@John-G]

​​@@Wabbit_HuntaSorry, but apart from the badge that's nonsense. He's a Warrant Officer so his rank's very clearly shown by the very obvious, heavily embroidered epaulettes, similar to the officers'. There are other differences like the aiguillettes / shoulder cords (left shoulder for H Cav NCOs and WO's, right shoulder for officers), but you can't miss the epaulettes and the more shoulder cords, the higher the rank. Riding instructor isn't a "defunct" role at all, but a qualification like a sniper or PT instructor. I can't even guess where you got "rough riders" from - this isn't the US and that term hasn't been used for a long time.

[@John-G]

As I've asked elsewhere, "why"? Why does 15 soldiers wearing ceremonial dress, however smartly, which it takes 350 soldiers to supply for only a few hours every day, make you "proud to be British"? I used to be "proud to be British" when I thought we had a working NHS that was the envy of others, a respected police force, an Army that was twice the size of the current one with way better recruiting, retention and morale, and a government that while I may not have agreed with I at least respected as trying to do what was best for the country, not themselves. Now I'm ashamed of what we have, and this doesn't do much to change that. So - "why"?

[@John-G]

@@2345bcde No what "shows the state of our country now" is that this is all we have to be proud of. Lacquer on doggy-doo, with an Army that quantifiably has the lowest recruiting, retention and morale it's ever had. How seriously sad can that be? If the money spent on making new uniforms for the King's Coronation Parade had instead been spent on supplying the troops in Afghanistan with improved body armour and better vehicles earlier, then far fewer would have come home in a body bag or with missing limbs, and the families of the dead wouldn't have had to sue the MoD for failing to protect and prepare them properly - how can that make you "proud to be British"?

My son had a School Mistress pony, which means she had a special sense when children may not be too secure and needed a bit of a shuffle back on! We always felt happy when he was out on her because we knew she would look after him! He doesn’t have any disabilities and we found that he has taken after his Great Grandfather who was a genuine Horse Whisperer! Do see if there is anything available near you, all the horses and ponies are chosen for their kind nature and really look after their riders. If the rider needs help sitting in the saddle they will be helped , but just the interaction can be really beneficial. Best wishes to you and your son.
