From the website of Household Cavalry Artist in Residence, Rob Pointon:

HOUSEHOLD CAVALRY RESIDENCY

Throughout 2021 and 2022 Rob is the Artist in Residence for The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. The project’s purpose is to document a year in the life of the Regiment and raise funds for The Household Cavalry Foundation.

Rob Pointon painting within Her Majesty the Queen's private quarters within Windsor Castle

Rob has been present painting live at every major state event of the ceremonial season resulting in a series of unique moments captured in oils. Indeed, the project was even briefed to Her Majesty the Queen in advance of the 2021 Queen’s Birthday Parade and resulted in him being personally invited by her to paint the parade from her private quarters within Windsor Castle.

Not since Terrence Cuneo has an artist been given such unrestricted access to the Regiment’s activities.

Important notice, If you are planning a trip to London in September:

Please note that between 2-24 September 2024, some of the King’s Life Guard Ceremonial duties will change.

There will be no horses at Horse Guards or 1100hrs Mounted Guard Change during this time. 

The soldiers will change from Mounted Review Order to Dismounted Review Order. Dismounted soldiers will still be seen daily in the Tilt Yard between 1000hrs and 1600hrs, with a dismounted Guard change ceremony taking place at 1100hrs and the traditional 1600 hrs parade. This is to allow essential infrastructure maintenance to take place.

The public will also continue to see the dismounted soldiers on duty at Horse Guards on a daily basis during this time.

This does mean that there will be no horses to see through our glass viewing window in the museum during this period but the museum will remain open.
