Horses on the Beach: The British Household Cavalry exercising their horses on Holkham Beach, Norfolk

- Note that I have updated this video: New version is here: • Horses on the Beach - ...
Holkham Beach in Norfolk, England is the location of the Blues and Royals mounted Regiment exercising their horses during their break from their typical duties. The Regiments of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals make up the Household Cavalry and are normally based in London.
They have a summer training barracks in Norfolk and periodically exercise their horses on the beach - as per this occasion.
It was very windy on the beach at the time of recording, which I have reduced as much as possible, - hence the audio is not as good as I would have liked.
Please do not go to Holkham expecting to see this spectacle on any random day. It is very infrequent - but a matter of great excitement to witness first hand.
Further to some of the comments, I have remixed this video with different audio, which you can find here: • Horses on the Beach - ...

Thanks. Sorry about the music !
@@onmytravels. I just turned down the background music but will still watch your wonderful video of the houses on vacation. I love the way some horses dig in the sand with their front legs, they are like happy children playing the sand. Thank you. ❤
Yeah really annoying music. Is this what you listen to?
@@inshallamiami 🤣Noooo
Agree….It ruins it!
Lovely to see the horses having a great time rolling in the sand❤👍
Thanks
Beautiful, beautiful horses having time out! They deserve every minute 🙏
Thanks
I'm completely addicted to watching the blues & royals (& life guards) at Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall. To see them enjoying their self's on the sand n sea is just WONDERFUL! ❤ bless them all!
Thanks. Yes, I agree, they are amazing !
Do you mean 'themselves'
Never realised the horses loved sand so much, they are just like children., loving every minute. Love the guards and their mounts so much.❤❤❤
Yes, an amazing insight indeed!

There are some older vids of them mass galloping along the beach and having a swim at the same beach
@@sjbict thank you S will look out for them
✨💜 Most horses love the sand & sea 🌊 The most amazing feeling riding on a beach , Therapeutic for all
@@Glendamarie_ never had the opportunity but know it would have been wonderful. Those guards are lucky too to have such a wonderful opportunity. Thankyou Glenda Marie
That's what I like to see, a load of happy healthy horses rolling around all carefree and having fun on the beach. This is so cute! 🥰🐎🐎🐎🖤😁👍⛱️🏖️🐚🦀
Indeed. Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
They are so beautiful, dirty, but beautiful and having a great time. Thank you for bringing this to us, I loved it. The horses and their riders deserve this time to de-stress from all the tourists that drive them bonkers. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely. I totally agree!
Especially today when the terrorists are protesting around the horses.
Thats the cutest thing I have seen today. They really care about these beautiful horses. God Bless.

Indeed! Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
What an absolutely magnificent sight.❤❤❤
Yey, absolutely . 🎉
Beautiful sight thankyou
Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
Reminds me of the wonderful videos of rescued elephants enjoying rolling in sand, dirt, and mud and then bathing in a river. All of these beloved creatures enjoying life!
Thank you!
What a truly amazing sight I've never seen anything like this, Happy horses 🥰
Indeed. Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
Love watching these stunning horses relax
Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
My joy reaches my eyes watching these beautiful horses having fun with their troopers! Wow! How amazing ❤
Thanks. Me too!
They’re just like big kids - some of them can’t stop rolling and it’s so glorious to see their fellow troopers letting them get as messy as they want compared to their usual glamorous appearance. It’s so funny when some of the human troopers are getting pulled around on the reins while they roll….. it’s reminiscent of big dogs who take their owners for a walk…. 😂 Made me chuckle.
There’s no working horses in this country, better loved and better taken care of than the HCav horses. Yes, they work and get pampered as part of that - but they have more days off than days working and their life behind the scenes is one of fun, frolicking and just being horses. Which is why you get such a wonderful mix of horsey characters at HCav too - they’re all being allowed to retain their personalities because they’re not trying to be turned into something they’re not. HCav is full of a mix of cheeky, gentle, naughty, cautious, playful, quiet, boisterous, thoughtful, silly, patient, moody, eager, lazy, calm and dramatic horses and it’s all their characters that make the regiment so unique.
The human troopers don’t try to change the horses personalities and allow them to be individual while all being given the same training for when they’re on duty. It also shows at times like when some dumb tourist gets nipped or pushed - it’s always the tourists fault and never the horses. The horses aren’t reprimanded for being horses. And that’s what stands out the most and why I and I’m sure many others, have a lot of respect for this regiment.
I hope the humans had as much fun as the horses on their seaside holiday. ❤
Well put Stacey. Thanks for commenting in such detail, much appreciated.
Well said
It's so good to see these regal and hard working animals plainly enjoying themselves after the disciplines of Horseguards and formal parades. They can come and roll around on my beach anytime they choose!
I bet! :) Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
Absolutely love seeing these normally so dignified horses rolling the sand! They're having such fun.
Thanks !
What a wonderful sight happy horses enjoying enjoying a well earned break from their guard duties at Horse Guards Parade. Enjoy horses . Thankyou troopers and horses forr your service to our country. Stay safe.
Yes, thank you
Awww this is the life.
They look happy relaxed. Nice way for the horses to unwind,on the sand.
nice to see Qrlando having fun rolling in the sand instead of biteing tourist thNK YOU
Do you mean the cheeky Ormonde? Or is there an Orlando?
@@starvingartist2824 Ormonde is the nipper !
@helveticaification Yes he sure is.😁 Thought I spotted that familiar blaze rolling around!
@@starvingartist2824 typing error
Ormond is very relaxed
I love this. So special, after performing their duties being allowed to "play" watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Indeed. Thanks for commenting, much appreciated. Did you also check out my videos from SA? (Elephants, Penguins and Hippos)... I loved my trip there last year.
Lovely to see the horses relaxing and having a good time
Indeed. Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
Horses paradise 👏🥰💕
Indeed!
The beautiful, magnificent horses are having a frolicking good time. This is what they think about when they are on duty at Royal Horseguard!
Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
This brings back memories of my Hanoverian gelding. Just like the horses roll in the sand, he always did that in the shallow parts of the river when we went swimming. This was his favorite activity from spring to fall. SHANDOR, I will never forget you.
And of course I am happy about the freedom and reactions of these wonderful military horses. Many thanks to those responsible and the Kingsguards. I come out as a fan of them and their horses ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Christine :)
The horses definitely love a day at the beach xxx🤣🤣

It's fantastic to see the horses having fun. Ty for your service 💂 🐎 ✨️ 💖 🤗
Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
Love watching these beautiful horses, made my day
Mine too!
I remember been at the royal mews in London when they returned from their holiday to Norfolk they were so well groomed and arrived in style. We watched as they came out of the horse carrier, beautiful animals, it truly was a treat to see them. How lovely that they had this fun.
Amazing! Wow!
I can't believe how much they love rolling in the sand!😃❤
And some people try to claim that the horses are mistreated! These are beautiful animals having the time of their life on their holiday from duties, They even take the vet van out with them while they relax in the sand and later gallop in the water. Amazing site to see and I'm not a horse rider or even involved with horses in any way.
Pleased to hear that they gallop in the water.
Indeed. Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
Have you seen the tack? And this is only once a year. Pretty typical stabled life that isn't actually suitable
I’ve been on that beach but back in the early 1980’s when I used to go with my parents🙏🙏🙏 to Norfolk on holiday
Never been back
Must go
What a wonderful site to see
Rolling around in the sand
❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴😃😃🌼🌼
Yep. Norfolk has some beautiful beaches.
I can't get enough of The Household Cavalry & the beautiful horses. Nice to see the horses relax. Not an easy life working in London. The music is so annoying.
OK, I have taken the comments about the music - and just posted a 'version 2' I hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/NmCW7c9VI1I/v-deo.html

There is a lot of negativity on line in comments as to the care of these mounts..Troopers..they need to see this and I hope some do today..TFS!

Was hoping to catch a glimpse of my hero, the legendary Ormonde! think I did hear the words 'he bites people' (!)
Yep. Sorry, but I spent a lot of time cutting out the wind noise. Then used the music to shut out what was left.
@@onmytravels I am grateful to you for bringing us these videos - I hate the way the tourists crowd the horses - it is lovely to see them having some 'down' time
Thanks. I have taken the comments about the music - and just posted a 'version 2' I hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/NmCW7c9VI1I/v-deo.html

The music was torture😵💫
I muted the video.
@@myoldvhstapes Me too.
It was so distracting. I had to mute it but I wanted to hear the troopers banter darn it
Sorry about that! I had to cover over the wind noise, but just mute it.
@@myoldvhstapes Sorry about that. There was a lot of wind noise,. I got rid of most of it, but not all, hence why I added it.
Wie wundervoll 😊❤❤❤❤
I wonder if Ormonde loves it I would love to see him xx
Indeed. Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
Look at us all nice and sandy dirty. 😊 Woo hoo.
Then a swim in the salty sea.
