  1.  @Chubby_T0511  While I do agree that it might attract more women than men, because they don’t do frontline fighting work versus those in the household cavalry, who are generally regarding each other as their main rivals, I don’t. It’s fair to say at all that they are wimps. My dad was in Kings troop all the way until the early 90s and only left so he could pursue being a farrier full-time and get married. He is not a screamer and they are all very honourable people who do the work the best they can. King Street is an opportunity for people who want to keep the traditions going both for the country, as well as for the world of equine work, and there was nothing wrong with that. However, I do agree that, considering they don’t usually do frontline combat or aid work, it is sad that they don’t draw in many men anymore considering when my dad was there. I don’t think he mentioned that being any women at all as working with horses, then was regarded more of a manly thing to do. I honestly think it’s more of the public viewing of horses, and how the media views working with horses and ponies being a girly thing, so it might put off a lot of young chaps from joining up within the regiment.
