Hudson, being part of the Royal Visit escort, truly exemplifies the outstanding qualities that are synonymous with Canada: dignity, strength, and poise under pressure. His training and preparation for such a prestigious event are a testament to the dedication and expertise of those who have cared for him since his birth.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has a storied history of breeding and training exceptional horses for ceremonial duties. The breeding program, which dates back to the early 20th century, is known for producing the legendary "Black Beauties"—the world-renowned black horses used in the RCMP's Musical Ride and other ceremonial occasions.
The fact that these horses are born and raised in Canada adds a unique and personal touch to their participation in Royal events. It's a reminder of the shared values and longstanding friendship between Canada and the United Kingdom.
The Royal Visit is an excellent opportunity to showcase Canada's finest, not only through its majestic horses but also through the impeccable training and care they receive. The public's excitement and admiration for these animals are a reflection of the respect and admiration Canadians have for the Royal Family and the institutions they represent.
Here's to Hudson and all the other noble horses that have had the honor of serving alongside the Royal Family. May they continue to be a source of pride and inspiration for Canadians and horse enthusiasts around the world!
