Hi Neil1821, I tried to enlarge the badge on the hat but it doesn't improve at all.
It does look very like the WYR horse though.

The white horse of Hanover was used an awful lot on Georgian mitre caps....
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
