In 1979 a new ceremonial Light Cavalry unit was formed within the HAC. Its chief proponent was Major Gerald Flint-Shipman, an officer in the Territorial Army Royal Green Jackets and non-regimental member of the HAC, who became its first commander. The Light Cavalry consists of the mounted ‘G Troop’ and dismounted ‘City Troop’.

Formed in 1861, The Light Cavalry is the oldest ceremonial element of the mounted element of the Honourable Artillery Company. Commanded by the Riding Master, its three sections, include a Guidon bearer, trumpeter mounted on the only grey in the Stables and a Farrier with the axe. G Troop is the only UK mounted ceremonial element that conducts a canter past with compliments at its ceremonial parades.

Based at Flemish Farm in Windsor Great Park, The Light Cavalry stables are a jewel in the Honourable Artillery Company’s crown. Glorious facilities, covered school, access to the Great Park, there could not be a finer place to ride in the United Kingdom
