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* this!!!
