Re: Re: Re: Napoleonic horses

Thanks Uwe

I do have prints showing French horses with bound tails, so perhaps that was just when on the battlefield, or maybe just a mistake by the artist. I guess unfettered but well groomed tails look better on parade.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Napoleonic horses

Hi Jon,

that is an interesting info, is this a contemporary painting or a later one?

cheers
Uwe

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Napoleonic horses

Hi Uwe

I dont really know when these images were made, but tied tails seem to be fairly common. For example see http://www.directart.co.uk/mall/more.php?ProdID=6437.

In the common Osprey books look at
"Napoleons Carabiniers" page 14
"Napoleons Dragoons and Lancers" page 11
"Napoleons Cuirassiers and Carabiniers" page 6

I just wondered if there was any regulation about this.
