I wonder how many real cavalry guys are left?
Makes me sad old Mr. Briggs
(Richard Briggs of Briggs Stable in Hanover,
Massachusetts) is gone. His
1960's Saturday morning 8 AM sharp advanced
class was based on his
cavalry training. It is one of the fondest
memories of my childhood.
He'd have *LOVED*
