EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from December 1969, we witness a heartwarming tale of friendship between man and horse. The Queen herself has acquired "Cicero" a milk horse previously owned by the Edinburgh Co-operative Society, with the intention of grooming him as the Life Guards drum horse. Trooper Donald Hudsby, responsible for caring for the majestic steed, can be seen in the background attentively observing their introduction. The image exudes an air of camaraderie as Trooper Tom Carruthers gently holds Cicero's reins while being introduced to his new role alongside the drums. The soldier's uniform adds a touch of formality to this otherwise tender moment shared between two unlikely companions. This snapshot captures not only a historical event but also showcases the deep bond that can develop between humans and animals. It serves as a reminder that even amidst royal duties and military responsibilities, there is always room for compassion and connection. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where loyalty knew no bounds – where trust was forged through mutual respect. This remarkable print encapsulates both grace and strength within its frame; it is truly an emblematic representation of unity between man and beast.
