Graham I have tipped Rich off - the look is not at all difficult - however the nag is a very different question, as anyone who has watched the pre WW1 battles at Detling and other shows will know!! We were very fortunate in that I had a contact in the horse fraternity who had very good horses; I also have a deal of experience in riding them. Experience and quality horse flesh are key, those who have had the odd meander round the woods on a Saturday afternoon are invariably going to come unstuck. It’s a great idea and I hope you manage to bring it off, I will be looking out for you.

thanks any help you can give would be apperciated. ill make a bee line for Richard first. i propose to "get up to speed" slowly, no charging around till i have mastered the art of riding!! Garry H will be teaching me at his new riding stables in kent, also i have some friends who have invited me to tag along with them and also teach me "horse management"
Anyone else interested in the Heer Kavallerie??

Duncan and I have both gone through the HCR Riding school at Knightsbridge and the Army way riding a horse is different to the Civilian way

[pepperpot]

true, but ive got to start somewhere, i dont have your military training. If its any good, does it vary much from the american union cavalry?
