EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1960s, depicts a serene moment in the daily routine of the London Horse Guards. The image captures a group of horses, their coats glistening in the sunlight, as they quench their thirst from troughs located in their stable yard. The horses, belonging to the British Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, are a symbol of tradition and history, having been a part of the British military since the 17th century. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with soldiers in their distinctive uniforms and bearskins standing nearby, ensuring the wellbeing of their equine companions. The horses, having completed their duties, are rewarded with a well-deserved drink from the troughs, which are filled with fresh water brought in by lorries. The stable yard, filled with the sounds of horses grazing and the occasional clatter of hooves on cobblestones, is a hive of activity. The soldiers, with their stern yet gentle demeanor, attend to their horses with care and dedication, reflecting the deep bond between man and animal. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the London Horse Guards, a tradition that continues to this day. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of history, tradition, and the unbreakable bond between man and horse.
