Drumhorse Household Cavalry.

Drumhorse of the Household Cavalry band.

The Drumhorses of the Household Cavalry are gentle giants and are used at ceremonial occasions in the United Kingdom. They have a calm and sensible temperament when surrounded by large crowds which is helpful for the rider who controls the horse with reins attached to his feet.

Clydesdales and Shire horses are used in the main and are usually geldings however a mare ‘Juno’ lead the Household Cavalry band for the coronation of King Charles lll.
