Britain's Household Cavalry soldier falls off his horse
STORY: Lieutenant Colonel James Shaw, Brigade Major of the Household Division said the incident is part of the work they do.
'Yes, somebody did come off today (in) really difficult conditions, very windy, cold, but he's absolutely fine,'' he said.
''Unfortunately he couldn't quite get back on. It does happen, but that's part of the training and they're all trained to deal with it. And part of the assurance process today is to deal with that situation when it happens.''
The Household Cavalry is made up of two of the most senior regiments of the British Army: the Blues and Royals, which Prince William and brother Harry served in, and the Life Guards, who date back to the 17th century when they were formed as bodyguards to Charles II.
