Why did this bring tears to my eyes? Horses are defiantly one of Gods greats achievements. Such beautiful magnificent creatures. This was nice to watch.
This is so magnificent it brings tears to my eyes, just watching horse and rider. THE QUEEN loved horses and animals. She would never have allowed them to be mistreated. She was a horse woman herself!
Thank you from a proud English woman living away... that was wonderful. Not sure why i have tears. But the proudness of the last soldier thrusting the Union Flag in the air was heart warming.. The soldiers and horses do us proud.❤❤
@alison155 Alison I'm American and have tears spilling down my cheeks! The utter magnificence and majesty. The rider, horse, and flying Union Flag got me! No wonder you are proud of your homeland! 💜
@lindahaggard6416 i have always understood why the Americans have this feeling for their country and are not made to feel ashamed like i feel the English are.. i live in France and feel sick when i hear so many English here belittle England. They forget how they got the money and able to move.. it has become the woke thing to do 😪. If you live in the country or not. Thank you.
I have a Great Pyrenees rescue dog who loves freedom but equally loves to prance as a show dog and have cars stop to tell me how beautiful she is. Animals know when they are appreciated and admired in whatever capacity they perform. And they would equally willingly give their lives for their human partners and other children and animals in their care. Beautiful animals.
The love, training, discipline and bond between horses and riders is wonderful. These are superb animals and riders and a credit to the Household Calvary.
Lots of people love to say how these horses are enslaved, abused, etc when in fact these magnificent horses have their own personality and are free to let it show. They are never 'broken' but slowly coaxed into wanting to be ridden. There is a connection between rider and mount, they bond and as you saw, they even play together. At anytime when a rider comes off his horse, it doesn't run away...he usually stands and waits patiently. They are well fed, well exercised in Parklands like Wormwood Scrubs, and vacation in the summer at Holkhom Beach. When they get older they are retired to a Household Cavalry retirement sanctuary.
You can’t help but wonder what people who make observations such as you shared have those ideas based on -WHAT? Supposition? Just look at these fabulous horses-do they look ill fed? Do they look as though they are struggling in ANY way? Horsewoman that she is how could ANYONE believe HM would countenance ANY negative treatment such as you have shared is some people’s opinion? Foolishness in my opinion, THANK YOU for your excellent description of the truth of the matter!
@Martina Obst If you think it is abuse, do you honestly think a horse would stand still for hours and fall asleep if it was abused. One trooper said that they do fall asleep and if startled awake they will fall over. I get the distinct impression that you wouldn't know animal abuse if you tripped over it. Taking all the horses to the beach and letting them run in the surf, taking them for 'watering order' which is an early ride through London streets to Wormwood Scrubs and have a nice canter around the grass there, a coffee, water, then back to barracks by 8am. Horses are washed, shod, fed, mucked out, all before the troopers take care of themselves. PETA has more animal abuse in it's ranks due to only having KILL SHELTERS and stealing domestic animals from private property and putting them down.
Horses have individual personalities and would not do this if they didn't enjoy it. Many years ago we used to send Police horses to football matches (such was the level of violence and disorder. One match outside the ground a "man" was shouting abuse at a rider, who ignored him, but the horse got fed up and slowly side stepped pinning the man against a wall. He didn't hurt him but boy did he scream, and he didn't let him go until he wanted to regardless of the riders efforts. It was a treat to watch and I bet that's one big mouthed yob who learned some respect for horses.
Omg I would have loved to see that video. Served him right. People have no respect for what these animals can do to them. They figure the pedestrian had the right away. Same thing the idiots do with cars. Then they wonder why they get hurt? How much does a horse weigh? 1,000 plus pounds more or less? Same as a car? Both can total you. 😀
@ Tango6nf, Now, this is what I would enjoy seeing. Difficult to cure stupid, eh? Have a mate who is in the Mounted Police….somewhere. His horse loves to stamp a hoof, then find a hooman instep. As you said, theses horse have personalities, have brains (go figure because that amazes silly humans) and are very observant.. during the Christmas festivités, the Police horses would do traffic duty. I would make up little parcels of sugar cubes & carrots. I always asked permission to give the horses a treat. Best treat ever for me!
I went to Twickenham once, and on the way out of the stadium, walking back to the train station, there were lots of police horses. I stopped to talk to a policeman riding a huge grey horse. I asked him what the horse’s name was, he told me he was called Damian because he was evil and bit everyone that went near him. But, he didn’t bite me, he actually nuzzled me. The policeman was actually quite shocked. I said maybe the horse can sense I adore horse with all of my heart🐴 ❤🤷♀️
I've watched many videos of the Household Cavalry but this is the first time I've seen the Musical Ride. What an amazing performance, what skill! I've said it before, but it bears repeating that the British military is unparalleled and unsurpassed at pageantry and pomp. This was beyond marvelous! Bravo!
Only a fool would turn a blind eye to the process of having to break an animal from doing what is normal to his nature in order to entertain a bunch of idiots that ignore their stress and anguish in having to act in a circus that England forces upon them.
My father was in the US Army Calvary in WWII. The Calvary horses are valued, well trained, and part of an elite team. Years, not months, of training is necessary to have a confident, trustworthy, and reliable partnership. These horses are an excellent example of dedication to the benefit of both the horse and the Household.
I was so pleased to find this video recommended to me. I was lucky enough to see this performed at the Wirral show many years ago 30yrs plus and still remember it with great pleasure. Most people have witnessed motor bikes doing cross weaves (don’t know the correct term) but when it’s done by horses in close formation, it is a testament of man and horse. My favourite, I have to say, is the drum horse…I just love heavy horses…but the charge of the flags at the end was absolutely incredible…the horses leaving the arena at full gallop took my breath away. Afterwards we went over to where they were being stabled and along with a few other people were aloud to watch them being cooled down and groomed(perhaps because we were all being respectful of them). One of my favourite fond memories. Thank you for bring it to life for me again. Bye💁🏼♀️
I was taught to ride by a retired Lifeguard and well taught too. We did all sorts of pommel horse work jumping on and off and standing up while riding round the managé. I’m 70 now and it still makes me smile to think of it.
@@autumn8034 It has come to be used that way. The Lifeguards have been a Regiment since 1660, long before people were employed to rescue swimmers. They are Guards, the senior Guards Regiment. They developed from the 15th century guards who protected the Royalty and highest nobles from harm, hence, Life Guards.They were, in effect an early form of Bodyguards.
This is lovely! I'd never have had an opportunity to see this if not for this upload. What a beautiful performance! Sincere thanks. Signed, Anglophile in Texas 😊
Made me cry at the end. So proud to be a British citizen, even more proud of our selfless Queen. My father was in the army for 25 years so I am a sucker for martial music & displays. Reminds me of the Sunday Parades at Aldershot!
I hear you. Martial music and displays were so special. My Father was former Royal Navy. He served during the war under Her Father. After the Coronation, he spent time on duty as a Police man guarding the Royal couple as they toured around New Zealand and Australia. Until my Da’s passing, he reminded us of duty and Respect nearly every day. All these videos remind me of those times of happiness.
@@gennibeaumont737 I could whistle all the bugle calls for the cavalry and for the other troops when I was small, as my Dad taught me. He was Royal Artillery, and the dress uniform is the same as the Royal Horse Artillery. Originally horses pulled the guns and limber, but they are all transported by vehicles now.
@@AV-fo5de We were raised in a different era. I could recall some of the marches from the Irish Regiment too. Courtesy of living with family. I have a big smile reading these words.
I am English/British but born in America. My grandparents all the way back into the 1200’s etc were all born in England also in the Yorkshire district .. I love looking things up on my family line. Watching all these videos makes me feel I am part of it and wonder who are my relatives here. Beautiful country, maybe someday I can see it
As youngsters and members of the Hamilton (NZ) Light Horse Club back in the 1050s and 60s we often performed the Musical Ride. We wore bright red tunics and I believe the lances we carried were from the Royal Lifeguards in India. We escorted HRH Queen Elizabeth ll when she visited our city.
This is a wonderful testimony to the history of the cavalry. Both soldiers and horses. These horses are valuable assets. They are well taken care of and loved. Thank you for this clip. 🇬🇧💞🇺🇸
Gosh only clicked on this as I'm recovering from the dreaded Covid but my Gosh soooooo magnificent absolutely spectacular what a show and such training and discipline unbelievable
Only a fool would turn a blind eye to the process of having to break an animal from doing what is normal to his nature in order to entertain a bunch of idiots that ignore their stress and anguish in having to act in a circus that England forces upon them. People like you would love to see the tears that elephants cry while they're being forced to entertain man or handled in cruel ways in order to force them to be what they weren't created to be.
@@beantrader4723 They are not simply English, and have been a part of Military History and the present for many centuries . These horses are trained as they have been for that length of time as they are a team with their riders. Do you not understand that being able to get a horse to lie down quickly without panicking it could save it and its rider's lives in battle? Everything they learn is for a purpose. Do you also not understand that these horses are Crown horses as they are in the Army, just as their riders are. They would not willingly do these moves if they were unwilling-or harmed in anyway. Do you honestly think that the Queen, who adores horses, and is a consummate rider herself would allow any harm done to any of them? At 96, she still goes out riding when she can.It might be an idea to learn about things before being judgemental ! These horses have better food and accomodation than many people across the Globe, and if you could not see the affection between horse and rider on show there, you know nothing of horses!
@@beantrader4723 Why don't you do something much more useful with your time, like go and look for that one brain cell you woke idiots were sharing, but lost and still haven't found!
I did not see anything I would call un-natural, or harmful to horse or rider. If you want harmful and un-natural look up ‘Big Lick”. This is the most disgusting abuse I’ve ever seen. This show of the Queen’s horses was brilliant. 🇺🇸💞🇬🇧
Beautiful animals, beautifully trained, and the soldiers, such wonderful horsemen. Te one closest to the camera did a beautiful remount from the ground. I bet they get a LOT of carrots and sugar cubes, these fabulous animals.
This was amazing! The training, the endurance, the precision, that reverse pirouette by the leader’s horse near the end… but most amazing of all, not a single horse pooped the whole time!
Commenting on whether a horse pooped or not during the musical ride is immature and silly. They probably carefully timed the horses; meals so they wouldn't have to poop at this time -- but with all the hard work of rehearsing this ride and training the horses and riders, don't you think you're a little silly for making the poop comment?
@@cathynewyork7918 I’m half being silly, half being serious. I’ve spent a decent amount of time around horses and I actually am impressed that not one of them pooped.
They know their horse are their success and they have great respect for them most people who ride or own horses do. You better show respect that is a lot of power in those horse's. I wish I could have been there to see this what a memory .
@@maggielarson5472 I actually hate seeing horses with iron bits in their mouths and metal weights nailed to their hooves. But if that must be the case, it's a small consolation to see it happening with people who really understand and care for these stunning animals.
@@mehitabel1290 The 'iron' bits (often aluminum these days) are loose and do not chafe in the slightest. They sit comfortably in a natural gap behind the teeth The horseshoes are not 'weights', but protect the hooves from wearing down too fast on hard surfaces. They don't distress the horses in the least, because the hooves are of the same material as your fingernails, and so have no nerves.
Beautiful to watch! Stunning Horsemanship. Truly a matchless gift to Her Majesty! This is Sept 2022. We miss you already,your Majesty! You are forever in our hearts.😢
How wonderful Our Queen was able to watch this magnificent performance! I appreciate the hard work that it took to practice, all of these intricate manouvers; and am still crying after the stirring ending! 🍁
American here… this just gives me chills watching this. How handsome the riders are and how majestic your horses are. Now, I understand why it is called “Great” Britain. Just simply outstanding
Le calme des chevaux est impressionnant ! Les 4 , montés par les cavaliers sans casque, m'ont époustouflés ! et le final avec les drapeaux est magnifique !
For some reason I absolutely adore the heavy horses that carry the drums and drummer. Their long hair hoofs are so cute! Here they have only one, but in other clips of the Household Cav they have two, perhaps even more.
Wow Absolutely amazing I am extremely impressed and how beautiful and magnificent these horse and Riders are with extreme precision and yes the horses look like they're thoroughly enjoying themselves
This was amazing to see. These riders and horses are so connected to each other , amazing to see. How many times must they have rehearsed this ?? Uncountable times !! And they are all so calm and collected !! Unbeatable!!!!
I have never seen a show like this from the Royal Horsemen. It was brilliant The training that is needed to make this happen must take forever. Fun Fact the horse drum core only use Clydesdale. The kettle drums are very heavy so they need a big horse to carry them.
3 drum horses have come from the Dyfed Shire Horse Farm in Eglwyswrw. CELT was the youngest shire to participate in Trooping The Colour and it was understood he could understand commands in both Welsh and English.
Oh my gosh,😮. How beautiful. I fell in love with England as a little girl watching Robin Hood and Maid Marion, Ivan Hoe, and others. I’ve gone across the pond to visit three times and named my twins Richard and Rhys. At 71 I don’t think I will be able to go back, but this was wonderful. 🥰
One of the things that impresses me is that all these rather stolidly built, but very handsome, horses are cantering around in circles for an extended time carrying over 18stone on their backs. And of course all these are regular army personnel, fighting soldiers, doing a one year course!
As an American and a horse rider I wasn’t sure what the laying down was about but I found a wonderful article that explained it to me and this particular article focused on a horse named George. Very interesting and beautiful horses and talented riders. FYI to others that may not know the article said- Lying down isn’t a circus trick, it’s a tactical strategy dating from the time when soldiers would lie their horses down on the battlefield, hidden by long grass, so they could leap into the saddle and preserve the element of surprise.
Only a fool would turn a blind eye to the process of having to break an animal from doing what is normal to his nature in order to entertain a bunch of idiots that ignore their stress and anguish in having to act in a circus that England forces upon them.
I applaud the Queen for allowing her horses to have a natural head carriage where the poll is the highest point and not rolled back to the third vertabrea. Well done! Bravo.
These are so well loved, and groomed, they are slick as satin….the riders are wonderful Not easy riding a horse…twice I rode and twice the through me…..my grand daughter took riding lessons
Why did this bring tears to my eyes? Horses are defiantly one of Gods greats achievements. Such beautiful magnificent creatures. This was nice to watch.
Thank you gentlemen for a glorious show!No wonder they call your country Great Britan it certainly is great!
This is fabulous. Horses are not abused or harmed. Get the truth before you start causing trouble.

most people who ride or own horses do. You better show respect that is a lot
of power in those horse's. I wish I could have been there to see this what a
memory .
@@maggielarson5472 I actually hate seeing horses with iron bits in their mouths and metal weights nailed to their hooves. But if that must be the case, it's a small consolation to see it happening with people who really understand and care for these stunning animals.
@@mehitabel1290 The 'iron' bits (often aluminum these days) are loose and do not chafe in the slightest. They sit comfortably in a natural gap behind the teeth The horseshoes are not 'weights', but protect the hooves from wearing down too fast on hard surfaces. They don't distress the horses in the least, because the hooves are of the same material as your fingernails, and so have no nerves.
@@HannibalFan52 Army Farriers are always on hand too, to take care of the horses. There are also Army vets, for the same reason.
Beautiful to watch! Stunning Horsemanship. Truly a matchless gift to Her Majesty! This is Sept 2022. We miss you already,your Majesty! You are forever in our hearts.😢
This was 8 years ago !!!!
Could not agree more with your words. Thank you. JR.
Miss u your majesty
How wonderful Our Queen was able to watch this magnificent performance! I appreciate the hard work that it took to practice, all of these intricate manouvers; and am still crying after the stirring ending! 🍁
American here… this just gives me chills watching this. How handsome the riders are and how majestic your horses are. Now, I understand why it is called “Great” Britain. Just simply outstanding
Omg I never saw anything like that before are lads our great and the horse you can see why our queen loved them so much well done our lads great
Goosebumps! I'd have been in tears if I was there live!
The horses act like they are really enjoying it. No tight reins, no one constantly pulling on the reins. Loose reins. Superb.
Le calme des chevaux est impressionnant ! Les 4 , montés par les cavaliers sans casque, m'ont époustouflés ! et le final avec les drapeaux est magnifique !
For some reason I absolutely adore the heavy horses that carry the drums and drummer. Their long hair hoofs are so cute! Here they have only one, but in other clips of the Household Cav they have two, perhaps even more.
Wow Absolutely amazing I am extremely impressed and how beautiful and magnificent these horse and Riders are with extreme precision and yes the horses look like they're thoroughly enjoying themselves
WOW! What incredible and well trained horses. This type of training comes only from a healthy and well balanced horse. What fortunate riders.
This was fantastic! Magnificent team of riders & horses.
Beautiful…. Horses and riders at their very best!
This was absolutely stunning to watch!❤❤❤
Absolutely fabulous! The performance gave me the chills. I love your traditions❣️
Wonderful performance. Excellent riders, horses well trained and finest groomed, standing calm, in absolutly trust and obedience ! Wonderful!❤
That was fantastic love every second. , I love Great Britain, and God save the Queen.
They certainly trust their riders beautiful horses 🐴🇬🇧🌸
Tell you secret, abused horses tend to not trust their riders.
This was amazing to see. These riders and horses are so connected to each other , amazing to see. How many times must they have rehearsed this ?? Uncountable times !! And they are all so calm and collected !! Unbeatable!!!!
Nice the horses had their head on the soldiers lap! Also good the chaps standing up on the horses. [From an Aussie.] All of it is interesting.
Awesome , love watching the Queen' horses and her brave soldiers .
Nicely done the musical ride is beautiful if u like the house hold calvary you will surely enjoy the rcmp muscial ride
Beautiful horses and beautifully trained.
Truly amazing brought tears to my eyes 🇬🇧
Me too and I’m not British.
Thank you for posting this beautiful example of fine training and history.
Battles must have been beyond scary in the past.
Thank you for your video
These horses are the Rocketts of the equine community. Good job everyone.
Amazing show, never knew they did shows like this
Superbe! Quelle entente parfaite entre cavalier et cheval! Quel travail en amont ! Du très grand art. Bravo aux animaux et aux hommes.
I have never seen a show like this from the Royal Horsemen. It was brilliant The training that is needed to make this happen must take forever. Fun Fact the horse drum core only use Clydesdale. The kettle drums are very heavy so they need a big horse to carry them.
Actually the Drum Horses are Welsh Shire horses, very similar to Clydesdales
I’m crying out loud!!! Amazing! I know the Queen loves this!!
@@TheKira699 Shires aren't Welsh.
3 drum horses have come from the Dyfed Shire Horse Farm in Eglwyswrw. CELT was the youngest shire to participate in Trooping The Colour and it was understood he could understand commands in both Welsh and English.
@@yorkshiregal Thank you. I thought someone was implying they had Welsh pony blood.
I love uniforms and horses .. Amazing
What a fabulous performance.
What a stunning show! wow❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸totally amazing😄😀😁🥹😘
Wow that is amazing very smart soldiers and beautiful well train horses love the show,proud of our British soldiers
Oh my gosh,😮. How beautiful. I fell in love with England as a little girl watching Robin Hood and Maid Marion, Ivan Hoe, and others. I’ve gone across the pond to visit three times and named my twins Richard and Rhys. At 71 I don’t think I will be able to go back, but this was wonderful. 🥰
Wow you know they are well care for.
They love they job .
To the horses keep the good work 💪
Beautiful horses!
One of the things that impresses me is that all these rather stolidly built, but very handsome, horses are cantering around in circles for an extended time carrying over 18stone on their backs. And of course all these are regular army personnel, fighting soldiers, doing a one year course!
Stunning!!
Horses, Guards (and ALL the training involved).
Well done, our Country in providing such spectacle!!

As an American and a horse rider I wasn’t sure what the laying down was about but I found a wonderful article that explained it to me and this particular article focused on a horse named George. Very interesting and beautiful horses and talented riders.
FYI to others that may not know the article said-
Lying down isn’t a circus trick, it’s a tactical strategy dating from the time when soldiers would lie their horses down on the battlefield, hidden by long grass, so they could leap into the saddle and preserve the element of surprise.
@tiffnyanderson4403
Thank you for that information. 😊
There’s a spiritual connection with your horse when he or she bonds with you! Love the Last of the Mohicans music!
Only a fool would turn a blind eye to the process of having to break an animal from doing what is normal to his nature in order to entertain a bunch of idiots that ignore their stress and anguish in having to act in a circus that England forces upon them.
Do you mean "LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY" Music ?
I applaud the Queen for allowing her horses to have a natural head carriage where the poll is the highest point and not rolled back to the third vertabrea. Well done! Bravo.
I definitely do agree with you. The horses are much more comfortable that way. I am curious. Do you know how tall those horses would be? Maybe 16h?
Donna Armstrong my horse used to be in the household cavalry and shes 17.3hh, they’re usually from 16hh-17.3hh ish i believe
Must be remembered that the Queen is a fine horsewoman herself.
@@donnaarmstrong9029 Horses must be 16.2 or taller
@@TheFadedFate when my daughter was showing up here in Canada horses had to be 14.2 or more.
WOW absolutely awesome from America
I love this so much, everything about it makes my heart sing ❤
Well done 👍🏼 from America to Britain 🇬🇧
Absolutely brilliant, brought a tear to my eye.
Does anyone seriously think that the Queen would have allowed her horses to be abused in any way? The Queen dearly loved horses.
❤un espectáculo muy hermoso y relajante bien entrenados 😮bendiciones exelente
These are so well loved, and groomed, they are slick as satin….the riders are wonderful
Not easy riding a horse…twice I rode and twice the through me…..my grand daughter took riding lessons
Viewer from the USA and just wanted to say how amazing this is.
As a professional rider of many years. An avid Horsewoman who well knows what went into that performance. I say -
BRAVO! WELL DONE.
so nice and I love all the horses
Loved every second of this, especially the flags at the end - fantastic!
I wish I could be there in person.
Me too!
