The Musical Drive

Musical Drive


During the summer the Troop performs the Musical Drive at the agricultural shows and military tattoos up and down the country. The Drive, which has also been performed abroad in Copenhagen, Milan, Montreal, Paris, Groningen and Berlin, is an exciting and spectacular display of horsemanship, carried out at the gallop, culminating in the dangerous scissor movement when teams cross in the centre of the arena with no visible gap between them. The 2007 calendar for the King's Troop is busy with the King's Troop performing all over the country.
