Its not too strenuous.What are the fitness requirements to join the Household Cavalry?It's the same as any other army unit - the basic entrance levels are all equal - check on the MOD website what they are. You'll find you need a lot of fitness for Knightsbridge, but that will come through riding school.

You might find that you go to Knightsbridge first, most lads don't want to go there it's f%26amp;*(ing hard work, then after 2 years you go to the regiment.

But to answer the comments left by others - The officers are posh as hell! It'sthe same throughout the Guards division, when I was in (95-01) they had to have a 2nd income of something like 拢20,000 a year, others wouldn't get their inheritance until they reached the rank of Captain! However, the lads are just lads really!

Good bunch, no major difference between regiments (LG %26amp; RHG/D) but a lot of pride in each!
