Explore London 1 members had a visit to Combermere Barracks this month arranged by Malcolm Hellings. For some of the group this was a return visit, because our first outing – pre covid, coincided with the state opening of parliament and all the horses were up in London! This time we were not disappointed and as well as a very informative tour with our enthusiastic guides, we saw the horses being exercised with the young trainees all kitted out in uniform. We also had the opportunity to chat with the farrier on site.
