The Royal Canadian Mounted Police say they will be gifting King Charles with a new horse, Noble, ahead of the monarch91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s upcoming coronation in May.
The RCMP says the King will be presented with the horse, which is also being given in recognition of the federal service91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s 150th anniversary, at a ceremony.
It says the King personally requested a horse from the musical ride to eventually be his new charger when his current steed, George, retires.
The musical ride is a troop of police horse riders who perform intricate formations and drills set to music.
The Royal Family says Noble is a seven-year-old black mare, settling into life at the royal mews in Windsor after the King met her for the first time earlier this week.
The King has been the RCMP91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s honorary commissioner since 2012, and visited the musical ride in May on a tour of Canada alongside Queen Consort, Camilla, during Queen Elizabeth91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s Platinum Jubilee.
