No. IMO, the cav is a joke, but that is neither here nor there. They did do a cav charge several years ago with sabres drawn(!), but they did charge when the grass was wet and one of the horses slipped and broke ait's leg and had to be put down.

They haven't done one since.

We do have a fully functioining artillery limber, which I ride on.

Damn. Poor horse.

I don't know if my horse would pull an artillery limber. He doesn't like being attached to things. I could probably train him to do it, but I don't know if it's worth the expense and effort just to cart cannons around. I'll have to think about it
