Origin/meaning

The heraldic composition commemorates the heroic and decisive intervention of the cavalry unit from which it inherits its name, in the battle of Villaviciosa 1710, during the War of Succession. The silver background represents the virtues of "purity and renunciation of the self in favor of others", which the Unit boasts. The Coat of Arms was approved on 29 September 2016 in its present form.
