I came across this on Youtube while looking for something else- as is always the way. Just a troop, and not in battle of course, but the basics of the cavalry drill will be similar to 100 years before. YouTube link |

You will notice some of the horses deciding their own paths. |

Nice! And of course horses are often too sensible to go where there dumb rider wants them to |

That's where we get the "Look at the two asses on that horse!" |

Excellent.
I think the formation change into column by the right and then reform inverse line shows how easily a trained unit could move and adapt. No wurries there about prissy left or right 'order'!

All nice and organized until horse upon horse, along with rider start going down right in the front of other horses. Russ Dunaway |

Very cool. It's a rare opportunity to actually see cavalry maneuvering. Thank you for that. John |

Yep. They're going to go right through those stinking German infantry. If you don't believe me, just read F. N. Maude. |

1902? Probably be stinking French infantry they were planning to go through… |

Yeah, belonged to a cavalry re-enactment group way back when, practiced maneuvers on foot first and then tried them mounted…kin you say Cluster F..k? |

If you ever get the chance, go see the RCMP Mounted Ride. The maneuverability of individual riders is amazing. |

Might just be a troop but you can imagine what it must have been like if you were the one being charged by them. |
ponders nirvana.
