One of the long-standing traditions of these beautiful animals is that they are given classical names from ancient history such as ‘HECTOR’, ‘SPARTACUS’ and ‘MERCURY’… This all-new Blues & Royals Drum Horse is no exception and has been christened ‘HORATIUS’.
Striding powerfully forward the drummer / handler strikes out a steady beat on the Regimental Kettle Drums.
