what a beautiful pair of horses. It's nice to see Royal customs are still used.

Horses are beautiful. However, not all Royal just use horses. Some use Donkeys (asses) in the Southern hemisphere in the Americas, and in the Middle East Camels take the honor.
Great picture.

Poor things with the heat and humidity. I hope they are well taken care off in their off time.

These are Cleveland Bay horses, originally an English breed. It's the same type of horse that pulls the Queen's royal carriage.
