The tradition of American cavalry
threads back to Indian warfare days
and although modern armies are
largely motorized today, the cavalry
still plays an important role. Sturdy,
well trained horses and excellent
equipment and trappings are neces

When men are in the saddle for
hours, their saddles, saddle rolls and
other equipment must be made to
stand the wear. Complete with car

for the cavalryman runs into hun
