The Original L'Aigle Thread, for the sake of history. Be ye warned.

Maybe today, but certainly not in the Napoleonics. The horses of the Cossacks were famously small-sized.

To add to that sig,

I forget nothing.

I regret nothing.

I know nothing. Apparently.

And speaking of Crimean Tatars, it's too bad they weren't raised until 1812, because they look awesome:

Spoiler: Horse-Tatar Regiments of the Taurician Governorate

That is a shame!

Late in the 19th century the Don horse was deliberately cross-bred with Orlovs, Arabians, Karabakhs etc. to try and hone their height, colour, hardiness, and cooperativeness. The older Don breed used in the Napoleonic wars has more in common with the horses proliferated by the Mongol hordes, most recognizably: in size. I think those artists were so fixated on clothing and saddles that the horse was drawn "on auto pilot".

Soooo.... were they smaller or bigger than most other breeds? Is what we really want to know. Grand Maester of Russian History

Someone needs to improve their skim-reading. OR you know, actually read paragraphs.

 

[Evelyn]

Someone needs to realize that not everybody knows the size of Mongol horses off the top of their heads.

 

[11sparky11]

Exactly lol.

OH.
Well, Mongol breeds tend to be stocky, and around 10% smaller. Sorta short and fat, like hobbit horses, ponies.
However, they have great stamina and maneuverability, if they lack speed.

[11sparky11]

Really? I thought they were small of course, but slim and fast. Weird. They look like really short legged horses.

 

[Bluehawk]

I regret opening this tangent.

As a cavalry re-enactor, I must thank you.

As a cavalry re-enactor, I must thank you.

Cavalry reenacting must be hard as hell. Always having to be in a saddle, at constant chance of falling off.

I'll stick to the infantry.

 

[11sparky11]

I guess if you are a good rider you wouldn't fall off that much. And don't you get to act like you are better than everyone else? Because you know you are riding a horse. And have cool uniforms.

It takes more training then being an infantryman, but no (good!) cavarly re-enactor started without at least some experience. My seat is apparently my best point - So far I've never fallen off. Okay, I've only ridden for 1,5 year, but still. Anyway, people who have an active constant fear of falling off, usually don't become cavalry re-enactors

Yes. Yes, we do indeed. I've actually trained the arrogant stance.

 

[ClearlyInvisible]

You want to see an arrogance stance? How about someone Reenacting Reynold's Cavalry at Gettysburg. Those buggers think they're better than everyone else there, it's hilarious.

This is going to sound really dumb. I have checked the thread and I didn't find any post about this being transferred to bannerlord. So... Will this mod also be for bannerlord when it comes out?

Sometime 2013. Never ask this question again; it is a nuisance the modders.

 

[Evelyn]

He was asking if it would be ported to Bannerlord - not when it would be out, or if it would be out before Bannerlord.

Wtf are you talking about.... I was asking if this was going to be transferred down to bannerlord... not when the mod was going to be out. Pay more attention to what you are reading.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

I have no idea. I know absolutely nothing about Bannerlord, how moddable it is and if I'll want to mod it.
