Trooping the Colour

[stangs]

Anyone else watching it? Some of the horses definitely showing their inexperience with large crowds.

Yeah that bay napping at the start, caught up luckily

 

[Kadastorm]

I’m watching! Some horses definitely feeling a bit overwhelmed but hopefully they will settle.

princess Anne looks incredible

 

[Kadastorm]

The drummer horse is doing very well considering he is only young!

 

[Haphazardhacker]

So lucky with the weather too

 

[Haphazardhacker]

Ahh yea Princess Anne looks amazing

 

[stangs]

Yes, weather's brilliant - a touch warm for my liking but perfect for a ride.

Loved the carriage horses; are they CBs, does anyone know?

yes I think so! Love Cleveland bays ?

V skilful driving the 1st carriage, the offside horse was very unsettled to start with, particularly after the ridden one of 2 in front napped badly. Mind, the 3rd carriagepair of horses looked blooming strong too!

 

[stangs]

Nice to see a few riders patting their horses. Those greys are absolutely lush, and so chilled.

 

[Kadastorm]

Prince Charles horse looks so sweet

 

[stangs]

Smitten with the ceremonial tack, the bridle with the gold criss-crossing over the poll looks lovely.

 

[humblepie]

Princess Anne’s horse is gorgeous.

 

[Haphazardhacker]

My favourite is the bay with the four white socks as they look just like my girl ?

 

[Rowreach]

I’m so fed up with so many commentators(and Facebook posts) saying Trooping OF the Colour.

 

[stangs]

Finally, the mounted band - love the drummer horses. That flaxen chestnut that just passed is lush too, really nice type.

 

[stangs]

Oh dear, pony on the loose. Didn't see how that happened.

 

[Rowreach]

Not sure bouncing along holding an axe would pass a risk assessment ??

 

[only_me]

Looks like someone has fallen off, where did the loose horse come from?

 

[Kadastorm]

Ahhh I missed the loose pony! Oops, there is always one ?

 

[only_me]

Poor soldier, bet he’s so frustrated now.

Outer drum horse looks quite young, not used to clapping but well ridden by the soldier

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Yes, noticed the riderless one. Whoops

 

[stangs]

The horse on the right of that 1st carriage still not settled, but they drive him nicely.

 

[only_me]

Um this is unusual music Belle of Belfast city?!

She is handsome, she is pretty…

 

[Rowreach]

The Duke of Kent looks very frail.

 

[Northern Hare]

We're on The Mall, the police had a great round of applause when they unceremoniously carried off the protesters, who got booed by the crowd. I think there were twelve of them. When the police returned they got a standing ovation ????

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

I thought that too

 

[Spotherisk]

I’m watching. Used to bore me but this year’s a bit special.
