| Cavalry practicing with padded lances. From the helmets, it's no doubt 1917-18 but we don't know the location or the unit. This was probably either a demonstration or a competition, judging from the large audience. |
Horrido!
This blog is dedicated to the preservation of the heritage of the German cavalry soldier during the First World War and the years immediately before and in particular, the 2 Chevauleger Regiment of the Bavarian Army. Our approach is primarily through the use of living history where we strive to recreate the material culture as closely as possible and give a depiction of the regiment during the First World War era. Comments are welcome that are appropriate to the focus of this blog. Horrido!

Cavalry at Play
Below is an iteresting picture on several levels: first, it's an action shot; second it's late war from the Stahlhelms; and it's cavalry. The unit is unknown but it's clear that some sort of a competition or demonstration was going on, judging from the large audience.
Pictures like this are priceless...the hunt continues.
Horrido!

According to a statement made in another forum, supposedly this was taken in the Meuse Argonne sometime in August 1917. Barring further information, I somewhat question this assertion.
