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.

“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
