Michael Jung is no fair weather rider
The subject of Jonty Evans’ crowd-funding project, Art (Cooley Rorkes Drift), is finding all of the attention exhausting

Just wow…
Everything we do in The Household Cavalry is built on trust. In the Armoured Regiment we go on exercise to build trust between reconnaissance soldiers to ensure the team is ready to keep our Country safe and at the Mounted Regiment we rehearse for State Ceremonial events to strengthen trust within the team to maintain standards of excellence for our Monarch. The Holkham Beach Rides are all about fostering that trust between horse and rider from which greater confidence and ability can grow. The Beach Rides are also a great new experience for many of our soldiers and are hugely enjoyable after the summer's busy ceremonial season. Our thanks go to www.christaylorphoto.co.uk for putting this stunning video together. #TrustedGuardians #BestofBothWorlds #FindWhereYouBelong #Excellence #BritishArmy #Norfolk #NewExperiences #RecruitingNow
