About This Book

A practical manual examining the equipment, horses, and battlefield employment of mounted troops, aimed at those responsible for training and command. It surveys evolving armament, weighing edged weapons, lances, revolvers, and rifles, and emphasizes confidence in chosen arms. Detailed guidance on horse selection, stamina testing, breeding, and campaign care is provided. The book analyzes tactics—squadron and brigade formations, flank and frontal attacks, the balance between shock and fire action, dismounted fighting, and cooperation with horse artillery—and offers diagrams and historical examples to illustrate practical principles for use in operations.
