What Horse for the Cavalry? (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the question of which breed of horse is ideal for military cavalry through the lens of the author's travels. The author, a judge of horses, traveled to studs in Europe to investigate different breeds and their suitability for military purposes. The book begins by discussing the decline of French cavalry horses due to political meddling in horse breeding, preserving the heritage of horses in France. The text then delves into the author's experiences visiting studs in Holland, Germany, Hungary, and other countries, describing the various breeds and examining their strengths and weaknesses. The author advocates for the use of polo ponies as ideal for cavalry due to their toughness, sound structure, and ability to carry weight, arguing that the straight hind leg conformation of thoroughbreds, while providing great speed, is not as suitable for the demands of cavalry horses in the field. This book offers valuable insights into the history, breeding, and suitability of different horse breeds for military use, making it an informative read for horse enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of cavalry.
