The Basel Tattoo got off to a flying start with a spectacular cast including Queen Elizabeth's household cavalry band, the Blues and Royals. It's the first time that a mounted military band has appeared at the event, and nobody was sure how their 30 horses would cope with the long journey, and the loud noises in the arena. It was to be a test of the band member's nerves and riding skills. (Julie Hunt, SF1, swissinfo.ch)
Those horses are lovely, just beautiful creatures.

this is not THE Household Cavalry Band. There are 3 bands in the Household Cavalry: The Blues And Royals, The LifeGuards and the Combined Household Cavalry Band

I like it when the horses move about and jump at distractions it's more natural!
