From http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/lists/fen1793.htm
Fencibles were hostilities-only full-time regulars who were
limited to home service (i.e. "de-fencible"), unless all members
voted to go overseas. Thirty-four Fencible Cavalry regiments were
raised in 1794-95, and most, if not all, were soon renamed "Light
Dragoons". (In the list below, only those positively known to
have changed their title to "LD" are identified as such.) These
should not be confused with county yeomanry regiments (part-time
volunteers for local defence) which formed at about the same
time. Most regiments disbanded in early 1800 and the rest at the
Peace of Amiens in 1802.
Regiments which served outside of their country are designated as follows. (These designations are not necessarily complete.) includes
Norfolk Fencible Cavalry W.A. Harbord 1794.04.10-<1799>
