Horse Mounted Warfare

Horse-mounted warfare involves soldiers fighting while riding horses, which historically provided increased speed, mobility, and advantage over foot soldiers. Cavalry units could quickly engage or retreat, scout ahead, and flank enemies, making them vital in ancient and medieval battles. Horses added force to charges, improved communication among troops, and allowed for rapid repositioning. Effective horse-mounted warfare required skilled riders, well-trained horses, and strategic use of terrain. While less common today, it significantly influenced warfare tactics for thousands of years, shaping the outcomes of many historical conflicts.
