He was also a first class horseman, although he served in the Guards (?), and founded a mounted drill team for young equstrians known as McLaglen's Lancers (later called The Hollywood Lancers) in Burbank, California. The Lancers continued to ride until well into the 1960s, but finally rode off into the sunset in the early 1970s.
