It takes an army of people to get everything just right. It's so interesting to see all the preparedness behind the scenes and so many details in each endeavor.

The horses all look splendid, blooming with health & good care, turned out for the special service of the day. An honour to watch❤

for some reason seeing horses on the streets of London makes me think it must be the most civilized city in the world.

IMO, they are the only modern civilization prepared to survive a war without modern warfare. Each guard member is probably capable of turning a regiment of green recruits into winners.

Love it Abdullah. Thanks again for sharing footage behind the scenes. Awesome.

That grey is gorgeous!!

THOSE HORSES ARE AMAZING! Bicycles, runner, tourists and the horses are steady as can be.

Solamente en Londres se puede con tranquilidad hacer gimnasia junto al ejército y la guardia real. Magnífica muestra de convivencia!

In general, a crown insignia is a major. I could see a horse with a (blanket) has a crown with two pips and that would be for a colonel. At 10:44, an officer with a crown on the blanket would be a major. At 11:08 the officer is likely a lieutenant or captain. At 11:50, the officer would be a colonel. Almost at the end of video a mature age officer whose hamlet with feathers has a crossed batons and a pip on the blanket would be a major general. His sword is also different from other lower ranked officers. Pls correct me if I am wrong.

The bay (brown) horses are police horses co-opted as mounts for the more desk-bound, older officers. They are absolutely bomb-proof. They usually have blue rosettes on their bridles.

I wondered where they come from. So any guard men officers get police horses. Thank you.

One of those is a Chesapeake Bay, they belong to the Royal Artillery. Some of the very dark but not black ones are the some breed and also belong to the RA. The late Queen rescued the breed from near extinction and gave the the horses to the Royal Artillery.

I'm sorry but this year's program for the Trooping of the Colour has information, with photos, on several of the horses used by the senior officers and the blue rosette doesn't signify they are police horses but more likely because they are part of the Household Division Stables, separate to the Cavalry Regiments. The two senior officers, with the white plumes, are riding: the chestnut (not bay) is Jumping Jack,(known as JJ in the stables) who is 17 years old and was a School Horse used for training riding instructors at the Defence Animal Training Regiment at Melton Mowbay before being moved across to the Household Division Stables in 2021 and the Black Irish charger is George, a 23 year old who started with the Blues and Royals in 2008. If you see the footage from the end of last Saturday's Trooping of the Colour ceremony you'll see JJ take off, after a spook, across Horse Guards Parade Ground, across the road and onto the edge of St James Park, before stopping by the barricades, with Major General Bowder managing to stay mounted but losing his feathered cocked hat. It was quite scary to watch for a few seconds.

They are not police horses They belong to the Military. We don't just have black horses. We do have whites and brown.

As some one whose grandfather was in the Royal Horse Artillery in W.W.1 I have to say their horses are an old English breed called Cleveland Bays from Yorkshire. Not Chesapeake as that is a Bay on the coast of Maryland U.S. Queen Elizabeth did step in and buy one of the Salgrave Stallions to stop him leaving the country, a long time ago, the breed was becoming rare.

Notice ordinary people walking, cycling , running etc. no armed police threatening anyone

Yes it looks very relaxed, just getting on with it. All very wonderfully British Cheers from New Zealand

The older senior officer with the grey hair certainly had to show his horsemanship on Saturday’s trooping the colour as his horse bolted as he was leaving the parade.

Thoes horses are amazing n the troopers who look after them .....❤ I wonder if it is wonderful living so close n to be able to look out n see all this

Thank you Abdullah, great video.

Perfección!

Diese Pferde sind taffe wessen!!😊

Which is the Colonel, the Major General etc? Which uniform represents each rank? Which rank belongs to the almost entirety black uniform with the thin red piping along the trouser? (Never seen this one before; seems to be a non-riding rank but is then seen mounted too). Anyone have a complete list of mounted ranks and their corresponding uniform? Lastly, why does the Blues and Royals uniform look so black, I always thought it was Navy blue? Perhaps, it's Admiral blue? Anyway, they're all Brilliant!

! Ah,estos jefes del minuto 4 son más listos: ellos van en coche 🚗 !

Invader has a huge fan club...those eyebrows so distinctive...

I’ve noticed for a number of weeks now that there appears to be a Coldstreamer riding with for a want of better words, riding with the riding instructors, is he on attachment?

The light bay horse went a little at the rehearsal , the colonel lost his hat

General James Bowder is still handsome.

Who are these officers with feathers in their heads?

What are the ranks of these gentlemen? (Go from left to right at the end of the vid please.)

How are the 2 injured horses doing from the incident a month or so ago? Does anyone know? 🇦🇺
