About Clive Meers Rainger
I was born in 1951 in London and started riding at the age of thirteen. At nineteen I joined the Household Cavalry as a Trooper in the Blues & Royals. After serving two years as a Mounted Dutyman, doing State ceremonies and riding one hundred and forty-seven guards at Horseguards, I went into the forge and started a four year apprenticeship as a farrier. Six years after joining the Cavalry I left and started my own business, including training two apprentices.
In the early 1980's I spend two and a half years traveling to Bahrain for one week out of every six, looking after the horses of the Crown Prince and National Arab Stud.
