My Dad, an artilleryman, would say, "artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl". The synchronicity, timing, comradeship, leadership and of course the stunning horses, well groomed, well trained and well ridenand a credit to the intention and purpose of artillery. Big gun go boom! And troopers doing their jobs, free of gender restriction. Well done, men and women!
To keep the horses going, pulling 1.5 tons of gun carriage, and rotating the horsewhip at the same time is incredible horsemanship. And did you notice how the lead rider is keeping a look out for the other team leaders ? You can see the riders using their inner leg to keep the horses going. Excellent! Well done Major Harry Wallace!
AMAZING! Ab-so-lute-ly AMAZING! Incredible display of horsemanship, with the precision and panache only the British military can pull off! Nothing like it in the United States, more's the pity. My first exposure to the King's Troop; how I wish I could see them in person. Thank you for posting this.
Richard Cleveland there used to be an annual display of military skills called the Royal Tournament, held at the end of July. It lasted a week, and was held at Earl’s Court Arena in London. Each Service (RN, Army, RAF) took it in turns to be the “host” service, and there would always be a foreign guest unit. Some elements were always in: the Royal Navy Field Gun competition (the most insane obstacle race you’ve ever seen), massed bands and this, King’s Troop RHA Musical Ride. You feel the stands shake under your feet as these limbers and guns thunder by, incredible. I think I was 4 when I first went. But, then, Tony Blair didn’t like tradition, pageantry or anything which would give the Armed Forces any feeling of respect among us civvies, so he stopped the Tournament, and sent our forces ff to sandy places where they couldn’t offend his wife’s leftie sensibilities!
Richard Cleveland I suggest you look up the RN Field Gun race, they still hold it annually, and the results of each race are beamed to all ships. Sailors have lost fingers deliberately when they stick a finger in to replace a missing locking pin for wheels in the gun carriage or limber so their team doesn’t lose. Insane.
Those gorgeous women troopers give the horse riding all the grace it deserves. If every nation had the King's Troop for an army there would be no more war!
This is incredible to watch but it makes me think of the story "War Horse" and the massive numbers of horses who lost their lives. Wonder if there's ever been a memorial to them.
Watching The King's Troop Royal Artillery perform this amazing display always makes me tear up - the sheer power and discipline of horses and riders is overwhelming - the consequences of the smallest error would be catastrophic - and they know it.
I enjoy Kings Troop displays, talented men an ladies on their mounts, I doubt whether I would like to go hooning around the grounds towing a damn gun behind me, kudos to the troop, great admiration for them.
Ruth there were more than one piece of music, one was Gary Owen which is a traditional Irish song adopted by the US 7th cavalry becoming there regimental march.
There are at least a dozen pieces of music arranged together, including Gary Owen, the Keel Row, the Post Horn Gallop, the Galloping Major and I forget the rest.
Starts off with Bonnie Dundee. Gary Owen is in there somewhere.Twenty One Today.Come lasses and lads.Galloping Major.Post horn gallop. Back to stables with John Peel.
2020 last year for the Norfolk Show, since Britsh trucs use to have the greens for parking their trucs for customs registration, long live the Brexit. The Royal horse artillery up to Hastings?? We don't like you to see at Agincourt!!!
There never will be a Royal Norfolk show since the Brexit all the greens are used for customs regulations and parking facilities for trucks and illegal immmigrants. It's a pitty for the Kings Troopers!!!!!!!!!!!! and their horses.
@@Roheryn100 I spent 4 years in the army doing jungle warfare. How about you? Like I said these guys don't go into the field....... like I said plastic soldiers

That's a great pity. Ceremony is something that the British military is so good at - SO good that there isn't a runner-up!

@@keithorbell8946 I was under the impression the gun run was no more sad to say.. Highlight of any tournament...
Roy Hodgkinson I seem to remember they do a shortened version of it.
I was lucky enough to do a period of training with these guys and you would not believe how hard this really is. Brilliant.
WOW. WONDERFUL. EXTREME AMAZING SOLDIERS
❤❤❤

Magnificent, unique in the world! Great video, thank You!
What a lovely sight and demonstration to watch .
My grandfathers old regiment, gives me goosebumps every time ❤️
Love watching The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery. So elegant!
Love these! Just love them. Watch as many as I can and than you for posting. Oh, but to be in England. And I am an American!
I'd never been looking on the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery and their music drive, It's amazing... I love these : )
Beautiful horses and gallant troops 😍
The Royal Horse Artillery is great.
Good performance and every time a good show.
Extraordinary performance!!
Awesome!
This is incredible to watch but it makes me think of the story "War Horse" and the massive numbers of horses who lost their lives. Wonder if there's ever been a memorial to them.
So amazing !!
Absolutely superb.
Nice, I use them a lot in Napoleon Total war.
Fantastic military in Britain.
Superb equestrianism. Remember the gun and limber have no brakes or steering and weigh as much as a small car and have less stability.
Watching The King's Troop Royal Artillery perform this amazing display always makes me tear up - the sheer power and discipline of horses and riders is overwhelming - the consequences of the smallest error would be catastrophic - and they know it.
I love watching these guys and gals doing there thing.
One of the sonatas was "Do you kin John Peel at the Break of Day" ...just a beautiful exersice, the Cleveland bays are magnificent.
Not Cleveland Bays….light Irish Draught crosses.
my dads regiment during ww2 bless him no longer with us xxx
I am lucky hawe seen this live 1981.
Marvelous 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖
My grandfather served with the RH during WWI
My dad regiment in World War Two I wish I was closer to him than I was 😭😭😭😭😭
I enjoy Kings Troop displays, talented men an ladies on their mounts, I doubt whether I would like to go hooning around the grounds towing a damn gun behind me, kudos to the troop, great admiration for them.
No one rides better then the British and that's a fact I love England ❤️ 💕 ♥️
Only the British can pull this off
The best uniforms in the world .......
Fantástico!!Fogo!!!
As an animal lover I'm so glad that these chaps no longer fire horses at the enemy 😖
💖
How long do the horses serve and where do they live after retirement? Do they get a full military pension?
Such a good question ,
Age - depends on physical abilities of the horse.....they go to a special military horse facility where they are well looked after in retirement.
What's the first march?
8:13 What is that march?
The hunting song, John Peel.
👍🐎👍🐎👍🐎👍🐎👍🐎👍🐎👍🐎
🔥
Nice army
What is this piece of music called?
Ruth1988. Ruth, think it is the "March of the 7th Calvary "by Garry Owen, but not really sure.
Ruth there were more than one piece of music, one was Gary Owen which is a traditional Irish song adopted by the US 7th cavalry becoming there regimental march.
There are at least a dozen pieces of music arranged together, including Gary Owen, the Keel Row, the Post Horn Gallop, the Galloping Major and I forget the rest.

Always Bonnie Dundee 1st.
Mainly women ....very impressive

"We could really ride if it weren't for these guns!"
Can barely hear the female officer bless her

Q que
WTH they are hitting the horses
The whips are short and light, and they MUST keep the dressing or it endangers everyone.
Ah drop shorts...the only people to have an obscenity in their motto LOL. Keep tying guys. 1 day you'll be good enough to called Infantry.
Long Range Snipers. And we occupy right of the line
Fuck off Canon Foder! 🖕 🇬🇧
Horrible person
And it's part of our SOPs, every 100 rounds drop two short, to keep the Infantry on their toes 😉😉😉

King of thieves .British king do not deserve to be called-kings?People who looted India should be called thieves
Keep crying Pajeet
Irrelevant.
Go disappear up your own arse you need mpty
Perhaps its time for you to go back!
Hmmmmmm....... plastic soldiers.
Try it yourself, sweetie.
@@Roheryn100 I spent 4 years in the army doing jungle warfare. How about you?
Like I said these guys don't go into the field....... like I said plastic soldiers
Yes, they do, they do so many years on ceremonial, then get posted out to Line Regts
You are wrong!@@F53802
