My inital thought is that the badge is that of the Royal Engineers.

Thanks Old Rowley

The "Ginger Beers" eh !

All I know is that he worked with horses in civilian life and I have another photo of him in uniform on horseback.

As an aside, Great Uncle "Nen" and his wife had no children. Though he died before I was born, I feel I ought to try and document his life as much as I can.

I'd go with the Royal Engineers as well.

Doesn't look like any of the mounted Regiments, definately not the Artillery and also doesn't look like any of the service/ancillary corps or RMP.
