Cavalry Following Through
Does anyone remember the runaway horse at the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana, back in the early 80's?
Following the ceremony one of the Lifeguards, from the Household Cavalry's horse got spooked and bolted off, and tried to mount the barriers to get through the crowd. the Lifeguard managed to keep the horse under control and calm it down. This was my brother and we are trying to find some TV footage or newspaper article that was around back then.
if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

My dear lady, how wonderful that your brave brother saved The Queen's loyal subjects from being trampled in a potential stampede. I shall be lunching with Her Majesty tomorrow and I shall mention the incident to her. It is high time that your brother received a Knighthood for such a deed.
Now, one very well remembers the whole escapade. I believe that the horse in question was owned by Her Majesty and ran in the 2.30 at Sandown Park but just had to try to make it across town to get a view of the glorious occasion.

| | Warhorse: Cavalry in Ancient World $90.56 Cavalry were an important part of almost every ancient army, yet modern writers have neglected them in favour of the infantry of the Greek phalanx and the Roman legions. Warhorse seeks to correct this injustice.Phil Sidnell challenges the common view that ancient cavalry were useful for scouting and raiding but left the real fighting to the foot soldiers. In fact, he argues, they were often used in a shock role and proved decisive on many occasions. The famous victories of great generals such as Alexander, Hannibal and Julius Caesar could not have been won without a full appreciation of the battlewinning potential of the cavalry.Drawing heavily on the ancient sources, Warhorse takes the reader on a thrilling ride through numerous vividly recreated battles, from the earliest civilizations to the Battle of Hastings, to reveal the horsemen of the ancient world in their full and deadly glory. A wonderful book ... written in a very clear and quickpaced writing style. It should become a classic. PETER G. TSOURAS, US defence intelligence analyst and author and editor of many books, including Alexander: The Invincible King of Macedonia. Sidnell has produced a highly readable study of the combat role of cavalry in the ancient world ... argues his point in an imaginative thorough fashion ... this book will appeal to a wide range of readers.CHOICE, June 2007 Author: Sidnell, Philip Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 363 Publication Date: 2008/02/01 Language: English Dimensions: 8.92 x 6.60 x 1.10 inches |

Calvary - Hello Kelly
Don't Wait for the Cavalry
I love the movies because the movies are full of heroes. In the movies, the cavalry eventually comes. Help is always on the way. The bad guys generally win in Act One, but they rarely stay on top for long. Almost without fail, they get their comeuppance in the end, usually in extremely satisfying fashion. In the movies, the good guys reign supreme. This is not always the case, perhaps it is not often the case, in the real world. We need more heroes in real life.
Leaders need to be heroes. We all know that being a great leader is a tall order. We expect a great deal of our leaders. We trust the leader to pilot the plane, so we rightly expect that he or she knows how to fly a plane. The leader must be willing to prove his or her bona fides at a moment’s notice. We expect that leader to be flying that plane to a better place than the one we just left. We expect our leaders to care about us beyond our status as a means to their ends. We require our welfare to hold a prominent place on their radar screen. Ultimately, we expect our leaders to cherish their roles and serve us as they would serve themselves, landing us in our final destination quickly and safely.
We often fail to realize is that we are all leaders. Most of us will become parents at some point in our lives, the first and the most significant leaders our children will ever know. Children learn most of their lessons regarding “how to act†from their parents. What is acceptable behavior? What is right and what is wrong? What and who should I tolerate? How hard should I work? Who should I aspire to be? These lessons and many more are passed from parent to child. Not only do parents lead children, but peers lead peers. In every group, team or mob, someone other than the titular leader takes the first action to bolster or undermine the validity of the leader’s rule. Ultimately, any leader’s grip on power is only as strong as the support of those that choose to follow. In reality, there are not leaders and non-leaders, but situations in which we lead and situations in which we do not. Therefore, none of us are exempt from the responsibility of leadership.
We need more heroes, but the solution to the problem is not to wait for them to arrive. You must accept the challenge of becoming that hero yourself. Your future, and ours, depends upon it. Don’t assume you are ineligible because you lack a white horse, an invisible plane, a bulletproof cape or spider sense. Don’t wait for the cavalry. Don’t be afraid to be that leader that we so sorely lack. Chances are someone close to you is waiting for you to mount your horse and take up the charge.
