The museum sits within Horse Guards in Whitehall, central London, one of the city’s most historic buildings. Dating from 1750, it is still the headquarters of the Household Division, in which the Household Cavalry has performed the King’s Life Guard in a daily ceremony that has remained broadly unchanged for over 350 years.

Towering, disciplined and steeped in centuries of tradition, the Horses of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR) are as much a part of Britain’s ceremonial heritage as the soldiers who ride them. At full strength, the Regiment cares for more than 280 horses, including those fully trained and in training.
