Historical information
The Royal Irish Horse was an historical cavalry unit. In Australia it was ceremonial only and appears to have been closely related to St Patrick's Day processions and sports days. Several contingencies existed in the Bendigo area from 1915. The Muskerry contingent consisted of 55 horses in 1915.
