Prussian Dragoons 1806

[FredG]

A memory of the making of "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and David Niven's subsequent book.

The Director, Michael Curtiz's instruction to

"Bring on the empty horses!"

[Graeme]

No riders?
Look a bit like the Grand National.

Actually I think these Prussian Dragoons look pretty intimidating on pogo sticks... But yeah, horses will be better.

[Peter]

Will the riders be carrying their horses or will they mount them, that's the question?

Looking forward to the finished unit!

[FredG]

The riders are riding Peter, it's what riders tend to do a lot. It's not natural to carry the horses as they can't fasten the saddle belts with their hooves. The riders would have to become the mounts and the horses the riders. You could place a bet as to one managing it but I wouldn't want to have too much riding on it

Coming soon ( this evening), mounted horses and a grassed base.
It's drying at the moment
