I annex a list of the regiments of Fencible Cavalry raised in 1794,* to serve during the war, in any part of Great Britain, with the names of the Colonels commanding them. They each consisted of eighteen commissioned offices and troops of eighty privates per troop ; and were always full of their complement of both officers and men, being a very favourite service with both
They served during a time of great popular excitement, and when the poor of this country suffered excessively from scarcity of food ; ocasioning them to assemble in a tumultuous manner in many parts of the country, and which were not unaptly denominated "Bread Riots." Demagogues and republicans were every where agitating the middle classes, manufacturers, and mechanics to disaffection and revolt. This force, however, always did its duty with much temper and judgment. The beginning of the year 1800, the whole of these regiments were reduced. The only commissioned officers who received half-pay, were the adjutants. To the quarter-masters an allowance of 2s. each per diem was assigned, as a permanent, as a permanent remuneration for their past services.
Two regiments of the same description were raised in Ireland, viz. : —
Those regiments marked with an asterisk (*) volunteered their services for Ireland and were dispatched thither. IT. |

As documented here and here we need to add to the Welsh contingent the "Ancient British Fencible Cavalry (North Wales). There are more details on this page, together with yet another, the Pembroke Troop of Fencible Cavalry. I'll leave this to someone with more competence than I have with the templates and tabulation.
