The Household Cavalry, jangling up the Mall, are an | |
important part of the King’s official birthday parade. | |
It’s a big, tourist-friendly event in June, with its annual | |
Trooping the Colour ceremony. | |
And if these runaway horses were getting ready for that | |
parade, then they would have been preparing for an event that must really test | |
their temperament. | |
Pressing in along the route will be crowds, cameras and all | |
the commotion of a summer’s day out. | |
Last year, in his first parade as monarch, King Charles was | |
on a horse that certainly got lively with all the pressure. It was variously | |
described as “frisky”, “spicy” and “unruly” by commentators. | |
And going back to the preparations ahead of the late Queen’s | |
Platinum Jubilee in 2022, when the media encampment was being set up, a soldier was thrown from his horse outside Buckingham Palace. An embarrassingly | |
public place, but these things happen. | |
