French Foreign Legion The legion mounted regts. on mules, but only half of them…one half rode, one half walked. After a few hours everyone swapped around…just as mobile, half the cost.
The Great war- We cover both English & Canadian cavalry, as well as artillery with Meg the pack mule carrying shells for the guns or supplies for the front. The British alone used over 1.25 million animals on the western front during the war. Also the famous Australian Light Horse, who took part in the Charge at Beersheba in October 1917. The last large scale cavalry charge in the true sense of the word
Feeding the Troops , includes Roddy the Clydesdale and friends of History horse, bringing in the crops of either WW1or WW2. This includes the role of the Woman’s Land Army and the Forestry Corps. A very unusual display, with lots to see going on throughout the day. Meg and Roddy pulling logs for the trenches, or charcoal. This display would very good for a country park or farm type setting
Burma -Meg can be joined by our friends from Suffolk, Molly & her owners, John and Viv Marshall to show how mules saved 1000’s of men’s lives either by bringing the supplies, or carrying the wounded to Safety.
History Horse is proud to of provided Meg and Molly for the Burma Star Assoc Reunion at Duxford and other British Mule Society members have also worked for the B.S.A. Veterans of this campaign are always very pleased to see our mules, and we are always honoured to meet them.we also cover the D-Day dodgers in the Italy campaign
