Officer Dismisses the Troopers at 4 O’Clock Inspection

Every day at 4pm... Once satisfied, the officer dismisses the troopers, ending the Mounted Guard's duties for the day. Informally known as the Punishment Parade, the tradition of the 4 o'clock inspection began in 1894. At 4pm every day in the courtyard on the Whitehall side of Horse Guards, a short ceremony takes place that brings an end to the sentry duties of the two mounted Household Cavalry in the sentry boxes. The two troopers on horseback, along with six guards on foot, will form a line in the courtyard, where they are inspected by an officer in the regiment who will have ridden down from Knightsbridge Barracks by Hyde Park to do so. Once satisfied, the officer dismisses the troopers, ending the Mounted Guard’s duties for the day.

I’m always confused why parents take tiny children, both toddlers walking & infants in arms, straight up to a restless, huge horse. Is it poor judgement, no knowledge of animals, poor parenting?

Den Preis zum Erfolg!!😊
