Uniform help, please

Can anyone please tell me anything about the attached picture. Are these RA ? Any ideas about the cloth badges on the left ?

The arm badge looks like the driving skill badge, crown over whip and spur.

Is it not rather an Equitation Instructor? Grumpy will know, but I thought a DRIVING instructor was a spur with crossed whips within the spur. Horeshoe over stripes left arm.. perhaps Shoeing Smith Sergeant Major?

Roughrider - Riding Instructor (Cavalry Instructor)

Gunners, certainly (Field or Horse, unlikely to be Garrison) - and I'll stick my neck out and suggest it might even be (slightly) pre-War.

Thanks for all the info.

In summary it looks like :

RA

Far left Riding Instructor

Second from left Farrier / Shoesmith

Regarding the date, on the back is written 1915, but in theory anyone could have written that.

Regards

Matt
