The Household Cavalry provides the Queen's Life Guard daily and Sovereign's Escort on State occasions, mounted on horseback. They maintain their world-famous traditions dating back to 1660.

Having enlisted in the Household Cavalry to serve with either The Life Guards or The Blues and Royals, you will join the Guards Company in the Army Training Regiment at Pirbright for basic military training - training which is common to all recruits joining the Army. You are taught drill, physical fitness, how to handle and fire your personal weapon, map reading and elementary fieldcraft - and basic military skills, which, in an emergency, might save your life.
