Our Cavalry

A compact manual for the modern cavalry officer, this work blends timeless battlefield lessons with practical advice for today’s mounted troops. Written for junior leaders, it walks readers through fundamental maneuvers—flank attacks, column formations, and the art of a coordinated charge—while underscoring the importance of cohesion, morale and horse care.

Interspersed with clear diagrams, the author draws on centuries of experience, from ancient Greek riders to the brave Ironsides of Cromwell’s era, showing how the same principles still shape effective cavalry action. Whether you’re learning to ride in formation, preparing a brigade for a rapid assault, or simply appreciating the unique partnership between man and horse, the book offers a concise, historically grounded guide that remains relevant to contemporary combat training.
