EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1960s, showcases an essential yet unconventional training session at the Horse Guards in London. In the heart of the bustling city, the tranquility of the horse stables is palpable as soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, prepare to introduce horses to an unfamiliar sound. The horses, their ears pricked in curiosity, stand quietly as soldiers blow brass bugles, their loud, resonant notes filling the air. The soldiers, with a calm and patient demeanor, blow the bugles at varying intervals, allowing the horses to become accustomed to the sound. This training session is crucial as the horses are part of the ceremonial guard, and their reactions to unexpected sounds during important state ceremonies could be significant. The soldiers' dedication to their equine companions is evident as they work to build a bond of trust and tolerance between man and animal. The horses, in turn, display their intelligence and adaptability, learning to recognize the sound of the bugle as a harmless part of their environment. This unique training method, a testament to the deep connection between soldiers and their horses, has been a long-standing tradition at the Horse Guards, ensuring the success of ceremonial events for generations. The photograph captures a moment of harmony between man and animal, a testament to the enduring bond between them. The soldiers' commitment to their horses' wellbeing and the horses' willingness to learn create a scene that is both poignant and inspiring.
