The Household Cavalry on Holkham beach - Take 2: Sunset

It's been an amazing month for photographic opportunities and the highlights have been the three times we've been lucky enough to photograph and record the Household Cavalry on their ride-outs on Holkham beach.This latest one was a very special ride and one which none of us present will ever forget - we arranged it as a special ride for Major Richard Chambers who is soon to retire after 33 years in the regiment.  Richard has ridden with the regiment on their Holkham rides since they very first started coming to the iconic Norfolk beach.To keep things simple they brought one horsebox with seven horses for this sunset ride and boy did we get lucky with the weather.  It wasn't the best sunset I've seen at Holkham but it was certainly the most memorable.  To see these magnificent beasts running through the surf with their highly trained riders was a photographer's dream.Below are a handful of the shots I took that evening... I would personally like to wish Major Chambers a very happy retirement and thank him and all of the chaps and ladies of the regiment for the opportunity to document their visits to Holkham this year.  A huge thanks to George at Norfolk Locations and the Holkham Estate for allowing this extra ride to go ahead and to 'Woolly' the Land Rover driver extraordinaire who drove us to & from the beach, he can handle those deep sand tracks like no other (even when he has a landrover packed with 10 people!)The full gallery of shots that evening can be seen here: https://galleries.everybodysmile.co.uk/cgi-bin/public.cgi?Id=364682My talented partner,Leanne (Samphire Films), made another beautiful little film of the evening's ride....
