They escort the Lady Mayoress, and particularly provide her ‘Travelling Escort’ at the Lord Mayor's Show. A dismounted ‘Carpet Guard’ lines the entrance to the Royal Courts of Justice to ‘protect’ the Lord Mayor’s coach whilst the Pikemen are otherwise engaged inside on the same occasion. The Light Cavalry also supply mounted and dismounted guards at polo matches held at Smith’s Lawn Windsor during the summer months. Members of the HAC Light Cavalry take part in a variety of equestrian competitive activities, either as individuals, or as team members. There is a Cross-country equestrianism team, The Slashing Sabres, and teams that enter Skill at Arms, sword, lance and revolver, tent pegging, eventing and show jumping competitions.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
