What this is all about.

During a recent Army equine conference at Fort Riley, Kansas some of us were sitting around the lunch table discussing the business of the Army cavalry. It was remarked that it was a shame that we could only get together once a year to talk about the peculiarities of the business and that when someone left one of the mounted color guard units that person was no longer able to participate in the discussion. Well now we can keep the discussion going all year long and those who leave the community can still be a part of it. That's the point of this blog. Here we can discuss any issue that pertains to the business including horse training, rider training, horse care, tack and equipment issues, vehicle and trailer purchasing, cavalry history, etc. etc. etc. All I ask is that anyone entering a post here does so in a way that is not offensive to anyone else. Please do not use profanity or insulting language. The cavalry may be a rough and tumble business and cussing at your horse during a training session may be common and appropriate but this is not the place for that. The Army is not in any way responsible for what is discussed here but we by our association past or present need to be professional. Thanks.
