CE075 The Life Guards Drum Horse ‘HERCULES’

Each of the two Household Cavalry regiments that contribute one sabre squadron to theHousehold Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR) have two magnificent drumhorses on their operational strength.

In October we released ‘HECTOR’, our first Life Guards Drumhorse. This month it is his companion, the equally handsome chestnut brown, ‘HERCULES’.

Like his fellow drumhorse this animal is a ‘Clydesdale Cross’, carefully selected and trained by the HCMR’s ‘Riding Master’ and stands almost 16.5 hands high.
