New 6 part on ITV at 8.30 tonight about the Household Cavalry. Only 30 mins long (less adverts)
I was surprised that they would join without being able to ride first. I assumed the chap meant first canter on those horses, not first one ever!
Though doing it without stirrups looked great for their overall position, just not for any security. How many would have come off with the sitting trot.
The mounting puzzled me, but I wonder if this goes back to if you are injured you need to be able to get back on your horse? Though they don't actually use horses for war do they?
I can clean my lass there. But wouldn't fancy spraying it with anything.Baby oiling the horse's b u m hole before mounting guard. I'd be in a wheelchair if I tried that with mine.
When I bend over, my wife doesn't need a light on to read.I can clean my lass there. But wouldn't fancy spraying it with anything.
Though if you meet a person that the sun already shines out of theirs you could hand them the bottle so it's shiny.
What is it called please? Hoping to catch up on ITV Player

Also taught by Cavalry man. Remember jumping no reins or stirrupsBeing ancient, I was taught to ride by a former cavalry trooper - so, yes, crossed stirrups and tied reins at the earliest opportunity to teach you to balance. Like a lot of things we know better now but look at the kit the guys have to wear on parade - you can't bend those boots to mount "normally" nor can you ride sensitively so balance is your chief asset if you and your horse want to come home together!!
