Wow. That makes sense now. Reminds me of the movie "War Horse" (WWI) and the horrible uses of horses pulling the heavy artillery guns. And, the heartbreaking loss or use of one's personal horse. (The horse made it through in this one though). But Texas were used to riding probably in the vast prairies and just vastness. Thanks for you time. I am learning more trivial things about military that everyone's experience and knowledge. Regards, Irin
