The Cavalry Rides Again in WAR HORSE


Albany Texas, April 1, 2003--Bright Sky Press announces the release of their latest book:
WAR HORSE: Mounting the Cavalry with America's Finest Horses by Phil Livingston and Ed Roberts.

WAR HORSE, tells the story of the U.S. Army Remount program, where the U.S. Army acquired well-bred stallions that were privately owned for military use. These stallions were of impressive bloodlines––Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Morgans, and Lippizaners that were bred carefully to develop a cadre of military worthy horses. WAR HORSE shows how those horses positively contributed to the outcome of conflicts and wars waged the world over.

From Genghis Khan to Alexander the Great horses and pack animals have been critical in waging effective campaigns. Cavalry chargers, acting as means of transport for soldiers, food, guns, ammunition and supplies, formed the battle machine and acted as a platform for the leader of the charge. The cavalry tradition continues today; helicopter pilots and armored tanks are the modern day cavalry leading the charge into our present day conflict.

"The authors of War Horse have created a monument to the history of the horse in battle. The U.S. Army Remount is so little understood by the American public that its proud history would fade from recognition were it not for the respect and exhaustive research represented in this volume."
––Edward L. Bowen, Lexington Kentucky.
