I thought the 3rd KOH collars had all four hooves on the ground, not a prancing horse like that? It looks more like the Northants Yeomanry.

Churchill & Westlake show the collar as you describe but it seems this one I have might be an earlier pattern , have now found the following, need to scroll down a few badge to find them...

This one has been raised on here before and it was noted as a part of a 14th Foot shoulder title.

Seems to be a conflict of opinion on this one , 14th Foot Badge seems to have the prancing horse...

Thread on GWF about these with a suggestion that they 'may' have been worn on shoulder straps.
