Household Cavalry

Household Cavalry

Historically, the cavalry has been responsible for many great military victories. The thunder of hooves coupled with the awesome skill of being able to ride a charging horse whilst handling a sword, lance or gun, was a fantastic spectacle. Our armed forces have always maintained tradition. None more so than Skill at Arms by the Household Cavalry.
They are so well known for their ceremonial duties, particularly escorting the Queen. The Wayland Show is proud to bring you the opportunity to see their immense skill in a competition to see which soldier is best at using the sword, lance and revolver, whilst riding his trusty steed, around a course of jumps.

Volunteers

We are looking for new committee members to join the Wayland Agricultural Society. Can you can spare one evening a month? Or maybe you’d just like to be a helper during the Show. We have a most active and friendly committee, but many hands make light work.

Please contact the Secretary for more information - See the Contact page for details.
