Kate Ferguson- 18th Century horsemanship |

As soon as she said that the 17th was a Royal Regiment, I turned it off. |

John maybe I should correct her then |

I think she meant "royal" to signify that the king had money to properly outfit and equip light dragoon regiments in style. |

That is NOT what "Royal Regiment" means.
The British army was NOT a "Royal Army", unlike the Royal Navy, or much later the Royal Air Force.
The 16th was indeed "Royal" because it had Royal patronage.
This was very much due to the traditional British mistrust of a standing army. (Which we Yanks inherited. 🙄😄)
The Army is funded by Parliament, through the quaintly named Mutiny Act.
I stand to be corrected, but… I'm picky. If I see a mistake at the very beginning of a "long" video (short attention span) I immediately stop wasting my time. |

For more on the 17th, see this.
link It definitely did NOT have royal patronage. By the way, the 17th was one of the very first AWI regiments that I painted. I used the still superb Hinchliffe figures. |

Skip,
Interesting video, and once you ignore the rivet counters, has some good information. Thanks for posting. |

As the father of a teenage girl college History major, it is nice to see a young woman talk about military history. |

Kate seems to be very interested in American Revolution history and especially horses.
She has quite a few videos and took place in the reenactment of Christmas Washington's crossing of the Delaware |
