I have said it before on the forum and I'll say it again, as an ancient and historical hill carving the White Horse of Uffington may be impressive but as a cap badge design it looks absolutely ridiculous.

With regard to the Berkshire Yeomanry's use of the image of a hill carving as the inspiration for their cap badge, I can only say that it is probably a good thing that the Dorsetshire Yeomanry didn't follow suit and use the Cerne Abbas Giant on their cap badge. Albeit that he is more war like than a skeletal horse.
