Members of The King’s Royal Hussars serving on Op Cabrit took time away from Nato duties to join American colleagues in a time-honoured physical challenge.
Hosted by the US Army’s 5-7th Cavalry Squadron at their base in Camp Reedo, the so-called Spur Ride saw teams complete a variety of gruelling tasks over 32 hours, covering up to 35 miles in the process.
Part of a long-running tradition, the event has been a rite of passage for generations of American cavalry troops as they seek to prove their soldiering competence and earn the right to wear silver spurs.
