Old Collingwood Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share #1897 Posted June 18, 2022 The history behind my latest post is - during the attacks by the 54th and 55th the Battlion's had different ranks of officers upto a Colonel who was with the regiment leading them, he was on his horse during the attacks, also the regiments had a few Grenadier Sappers who tried to attack the gates at the front of the farm but were shot at by the 2nd KGL hiding over the wall.

Edwardkenway Posted June 23, 2022 Share #1918 Posted June 23, 2022 I think it was common practice to dock cavalry mounts tails in this period. This is from www.britishempire.co.uk The horses were also black but so were the horses of all the cavalry regiments. At this time the tails of the horses were docked. The reasoning behind this unsightly practice was that when a horse's tail became wet and muddy it would flick dirt onto the riders.

Thanks Ken, I think its the stance of the Tails - with them galloping at quite a pace I would think theit tails should be flowing back not down, its all to get the correct stance showing the flow of movement - want it to look right as I can.
