The KTRHA form Her Majesty The Queen's ceremonial Saluting Battery and are stationed at Woolwich, London. Known as 'The Troop' they are a mounted unit and all of their soldiers are superb equestrians trained to drive a team of six horses that pull the First World War 'thirteen pounder' state saluting guns.
The KTRHA are an integral part of the Household Troops. Their duties include the firing of Royal Salutes in Hyde Park on both Royal Anniversaries and State Occasions, and providing a gun carriage and team of black horses for State and military funerals. The Troop performs the duties of the Queen's Life Guard at Horse Guards for one month each year.

So you can manage your free time better to get the most out of it. Maybe you can use some of that freed up time for the Regimental skiing trip...

For the Army, there are some big changes coming up in 2014, with the end of combat operations in Afghanistan after more than 10 years. We’ll be bringing home thousands of troops and tonnes of equipment, and continuing to train for whatever and wherever we might be called on next. 2014 also marks 100 years since the start of the First World War, so our regiments will be remembering the courage of their young men and the battles they fought. We’ll also be continuing to recruit, as ever. Whatever we’re asked to do, the Army relies on the quality and training of its people.
