Hi
Thanks for your message.
The horses are generally trained by the more experienced soldiers of the regiment. You can not join as an instructor/trainer. You would have to join like any trooper, complete basic training and then undertake riding school with the regiment. Every mounted soldier completes this, whether experienced or not.
Hope this helps.
