The International Horse Show 1910
These officers would appear to be members of the British cavalry team at the 1910 International Horse Show held at Olympia. I cannot find out anything about the role that they played, e.g. did they compete individually or as a team. Somewhere out there is a programme that will give their names but I have yet to find it.

Back in them days military officers of many nationalities featured large in the show, but I don't know if they were competing or displaying as individuals or teams.

If I could find a list of competitors I might be able to identify a few individuals. It would be good to know if these officers survived the Great War.

Just done a quick google, there's mention of a Brigadier Brook & the 1910 event, but I don't know if Brigadier Brook was a two or four legged participant.

Great photo with several different, regimental patterns of what Winston Churchill referred to as the ‘jumpers’ (blue patrol frocks) that replaced stable jackets. Only some regiments had adopted collar badges at that stage and the different dimensions of the relatively new peaked forage caps are apparent. Thank you for posting.
