2. Goals I have been in the Equine Industry for more than 25 years and my wide range of experiences has taught me that there is probably no other type of work where one thing can be done in so many ways ,from breaking to training from feeding to foaling. No one way is superior to another and i believe that common sense should prevail . To this end i am seeking long term employment with a well established farm where i can use all the skills learnt over a 25 year period working in the equine industry . I would like compensation to match the work load and know that there is financial security equity and fairness. Family is very important to me and I would like to work in an atmosphere where my family can appreciate the beauty of horses.
4. The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery is a ceremonial unit of the British Army. It was named The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery in 1947 when King George VI decided that, following the mechanization of the last batteries of horse drawn artillery, a troop of horse artillery should be kept to take part in the great ceremonies of state. So, he declared that the Riding Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery would be known as 'His Troop' or 'The King's Troop'. The King enacted his proclamation by amending the page on the visitors book of the Troop in manuscript, striking out the word "Riding" and inserting "King's". On her accession, Queen Elizabeth II declared that the name 'King's Troop' would remain in honor of her father. The King's Troop forms part of the Household Troops and, when on parade with its guns, takes precedence over all other regiments in the regular forces of the British Army. The 13-pounder guns, named for the weight of shot, were used in World War I and are still in use today, albeit ceremonially. Although the King's Troop is primarily a ceremonial unit, with responsibility for firing gun salutes on state occasions, it has an operational role as part of the territorial defense of the United Kingdom. The unit is most often seen providing gun salutes on state occasions in Hyde Park, and Green Park. They also mount the Queen's Life Guard at Horse Guards when the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment go away for their summer training. Duties Included Full care of 14 horses. Riding in ceremonial events. Ride in inter regiment competition in one day events, Show jumping and Dressage . Officers Groom . Assist in Breaking horse.

For most of the year the stables are home to the working horses that play an important role in The Queen's official and ceremonial duties. They are mainly Cleveland Bays, the only British breed of carriage horse, and the Windsor greys, which by tradition always draw the carriage in which The Queen is travelling.
