Au Galop!
Horses and Riders of Napoleon's Army
Much has been
written on Napoleon's armies and the battles
and campaigns in which they fought.
Attention has been paid to the tactics and
organisation of the three arms that
comprised the Napoleonic French army, the
infantry, artillery and cavalry. However, to
date there has been no clear and concise
study of the supply of horses to the French
army. Making extensive use of primary
sources, especially archive material, this
study presents, for the first time, the way
in which Napoleon obtained horses for his
army, the way they were fed, and crucially
how the men and horses were trained.
