Meet Our Horses, Staff and Dogs

Lexi

Belongs to the Light Cavalry. Lexi turns her hoof to everything and is a key player in all of our Ceremonial Duties being able to perform every role. She is well loved by the Supporting Riders and lives in her penthouse suite where she can have attention from humans without being close to other horses which suits her just fine.

Martha

Belongs to the Light Cavalry and joined us in August 2018. A versatile horse who is able to perform all ceremonial roles. Totally full of character she is a willful mare, she has a very strong following from the Supporting Riders. She dislikes hacking alone.

Taz

Belongs to the Light Cavalry. Taz joined us in 2017. He settled into his military role as if he had been doing it all his life and continues to thrive at displays and on parade. an older gent who is the 1st choice for many Supporting Riders, he goes to the level of the rider.

Sky

We lost Sky in mid 2024 after a short but well deserved retirement- at the grand age of 26 she was a fantastic mare who was adored by all and an amazing parade horse.

Lightning

Belongs to the Light Cavalry and joined us in September 2020. joining at the tailend of the Global Pandemic she has performed in Our Annual Inspection and the Lord Mayors parade twice. A beautiful mare who loves to take the Supporting Riders hacking.

Henry

Belongs to the Light Cavalry. Henry is a very handsome Officers Horse often seen leading the way on Parades. Equally he is just as comfortable turning heads on hacks in Windsor Great Park and is adored by many Supporting Riders. Arriving in early 2022 he has joined us on all parades since. Preferring private lessons to groups he is quite talented in the school as well.

Jimmy Shoes

Belongs to the Light Cavalry. Jimmy Shoes is the Light Cavalry's youngest horse, he joined us in mid 2022 at just 6 years old as a retrained race horse. His sweet and inquisitive nature and calm disposition has made him a pleasure to train, he has performed in all parades in varying roles and is part of the Musical ride and Skill at Arms displays. A great character to have around always demanding attention.

Guinness

Guinness joined us on loan in 2023 and has now become a permanent part of the team. Even as an older gent he is fun and excitable and seems to really enjoy the parade wok dressing up to look his best, he adores a little bit of pole work and jumping in the school and is often the Escort horse for the staff out hacking.

Betty

Belonging to the Light Cavalry Betty is our newest recruit joining us in 2024. Settling in and learning the ropes she is already a firm favourite who we are planning to debut this year in her Ceremonial role. Don't be fooled by the heavy horse look she is a great fun, forward ride, light on her feet and nimble over a fence. We are hoping that she will love the Skill at Arms to form part of the display team

Beyonce

Beyonce belongs to long time Supporting Rider and one time member of staff Rebecca Harris and is on working livery with us. She takes part in all activities and is a pleasure to have around, an easy going well schooled mare that knows her dressage moves. Beyonce is fabulous in her parade role and is happy doing any job including carrying a 6ft flag.

Clare Russell

Clare joined us in November 2021 as our General Manager. Previously to this Clare has managed a riding club/livery yard and was the office manager for a large equestrian competition centre. Having been a Supporting Rider of the Light Cavalry since the early 2000's this was a dream come true job.

Ellie and Erryn

Clare is joined by two full time grooms who live on site, both have a wealth of experience in the riding school and competition sectors and are invested in the welfare and journey of each of the horses in their care. They are a happy and approachable team making brilliant escorts in the Great Park

Daisy, Fredwood, Sebastian, Herike and Bagle

Daisy has been joined by her own little brother and the dogs of the grooms, they are an energetic bunch. as we have so many of our own dogs we ask you not to bring yours without permission and client dogs must be on leads at all times.
