The Uniforms of the Household Cavalry

Correction: The chin straps wouldn't really be very useful in deflecting swordblows! That's a bit of a misnomer.
The uniforms of the Household Division are many and spectacular. In this video I discuss the various ceremonial kits of the Household Cavalry, made up of the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. We also take a quick aside to discuss the horses of the cavalry, their selection and training.

Most of the information in this video was gathered from the Household Cavalry Museum, at Horse Guards in London as well as from the following websites:

In the next video of this series we shall be discussing the history of the Life Guards regiment, followed by the history of the Blues and Royals. -
