The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment ride from their Barracks in Hyde Park to Olympia, The London International Horse Show
This morning, The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, one of the headline acts performing at the Show, made its way to Olympia Grand from their barracks in Hyde Park, via High Street Kensington, arriving at the iconic venue in style. Keeping with tradition, the Regiment rode to the Kensington venue in their ceremonial kit, the easiest way to transport both the horse and equipment from their barracks. The 28 horses and 36 personnel, who are the only mounted ceremonial soldiers who also serve as fighting soldiers, will perform the Household Cavalry Musical Ride daily at the Show, which begins tomorrow.
The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment rehearse their Musical Ride ahead of their first performance tomorrow
