Horse soldier re-enacters

There's a very interesting story on horsecity.com today about battle field re-enacters and the horses used at Gettysburg. http://horsecity.com/stories/060606/adv_calvary_MG.shtml
It's written by Mark Gochman, the editor of
equestrianadventurer.com
a site I have visited several times.
It talks about the people involved in cavalry re-enacting -- former fox hunters, ropers, and eventers.
There's even a school to train for such rides -- which I hadn't heard of prior to reading this article. It's in Twisp, Wash.

Take a look at Mark's article if you're interested in horses and history. It's an interesting read.

One of my reasons for starting this blog is to eventually write some longer articles of my own on horse history. Stay tuned. Or better yet, Return with us soon to those days of Yesteryear.
