(Photo by Apichart Jinakul)For almost three decades, the 29th Cavalry Battalion, King's Guard, proudly served under the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. "Her Royal Highness personally checks on everything, including the rehearsal and all 77 participants taking part in the procession," Royal Stable Unit chief Vithai Laithomya said. W-Calata, an 11-year-old Holsteiner mare from Germany, was chosen especially for this royal procession. She later led them in a merit-making ceremony dedicated to the late King, and afterwards sprinkled lustral water on all the soldiers and their horses.
