A “Rodeo” is the thing I fear the most!

A Rodeo is where your in line, (full gear) and you have some Cav feller gets thrown from his horse, and the horse runs into your ranks at full speed…you can’t get out of the way fast enough, and you have no idea where the horse will end up!

I have seen it twice, and I can understand the Infantry’s disdain for the Cav…

“…What we need is efficient cavalry, not immense bands of plunderers scattered over the country. 9/10ths of the so called cavalry never see, and cannot be induced to see an armed Yankee.”
Gen. D. H. Hill

Other’s mileage WILL vary!
