Hiya folks,
new(ish) to the 9YW period and I have a quick question for the hive mind:
One often sees in uniform guides / historical accounts that such-and-such regiment were all mounted on grey horses (or Bay, or Black, etc) - How true was this? especially on campaign?
My thoughts are that regimental / company farriers (or whoever was procuring horses) would need horses of the right size, health, temperament, etc. and colouration would likely be further down the list - am I wrong?
I guess the question in a nutshell is: when one is painting a unit said to be mounted on a certain colour horse, how uniform should this be?
TIA
