Re: Chilean mounted troops videos
Good George, you beat me on posting this. I saw this on the Army Website and was about to post it when I saw yours. I might add that those cavalrymen belong to the Regimiento Ner 1 Granaderos, the coal scuttle helmet guys, that are mostly known as the ceremonial escort of the President, but here you...

Re: Old photographs of Chilean Army horse use
Excellent! That is an interesting sled mount for that MG08. Is that exclusive to Chile? Unfortunatelly I don't have that information but I asumme it was of German design, as most of the military equipment in Chile at the turn of the 20 century. Huge horses anyway for chilean standards, probably Per...

Re: The "Cavalry Controversy"
"The land was long ridges, with streams down in the dark hollows. Dismounted, along a ridge, with all night to dig in, the boys could hold for a while. Good boys. Buford had taught them to fight dismounted, the way they did out west, and the hell with this Stuart business, this glorious Murat c...

Roy, welcome to this forum. I'ts really good to have someone with actual mounted combat experience participating on the forum. I've tried to lure some chilean horse cavalry officers into posting here, but for now it has been unfruitful. Been reading a lot lately about the War in Rhodesia and the cam...

RE: Chile
Pat, Joe, Paul and Ron, and all the others, I wasn't dead or missing, or abducted by aliens, but up to mi neck in paperwork for the last months so I haven't put aside some time to visit the forums very often or to post anything. When I was writing originally this text was, last Saturday morning, (wa...

I have a book in Spanish, “The great Encyclopedia of the Horse” would be the translation, and in the chapter devoted to cavalry there’s a photograph of three swiss cavalry soldiers, with their Maxim Rubin rifles slung across their backs (Swiss current issue rifle is the SIG 540 or 90, not sure), sab...

I did post these pictures on another thread, but I think that they’d be better here. This two last pictures show a performance of the Black Cadre, the cavalry acrobatic team of the army, currently stationed south of Santiago at Regimiento Granaderos (Grenadiers) Presentation of the Black Cadre, May ...
