Stunning! Marvelous! Thank you so much for sharing! I had never before seen or heard of them, they're absolutely great!
-
Do the horses with the drums get ear plugs? Ha ha just kidding. ;)
-
@nexxan85 If their name is Life Guard, why should they not be called that?
-
Det är tyvärr allt för sällan att ma ser ett levande kavalleriband. Jag uppskattar svenskarna för att de håller traditionen levande!

@ZaeroZ Finska rytteriets marsch komponerades under trettioåriga kriget (1600-talet) av en nu okänd upphovsman och på 1800-talet fick den text av Topelius. Eftersom Sverige och Finland var ett rike då, så kan vi väl storsvenskt få dela med oss av äran till våra finska bröder och systrar....*fniss*

Är inte den första låten finsk om jag inte missminner mig, oerhört vacker ändå dock ^^

Thank you for telling me the horses are Swedish half-breds, they are so elegant and well trained. Beautiful.
Yes, the drummers' horses are English Shires. I love them :)
-
@bootsandsaddles would that be the drummers horses? Most other seems to be the swedish half breed which is the standard horse of the swedish armed forces.

@k1lkenny Niether have sweden ever had a king that has been named Olaf....about 1000 years ago we had a king called Olof though....and he does not have a standing guardin this day.

Whats up with the life guard part? They arn't on the beach....it should say The Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Guard.....there should be no life in there....even if the swedish name for it is "livgarde"
Remarkable performance by Livgardets Dragonmusikaar. As a former musician in the Household Division in the UK and with a vehement passion for military bands I really appreciate such performances.

Excellent. I enjoyed this very much. A high standard of performance, beautiful horses. And, I am proud to see English Shire Horses too. Thank you.
