Purchase
Notes NZ army-issue horse feed bag, WW1 The principal role of the Mounted Rifles was to advance to an enemy position, dismount, and continue the action on foot. They also played a major role as cavalry taking many positions as a rush of a mounted charge. Other duties included long-range desert reconnaissance's probing enemy positions, searching for water and preparing demolitions on bridges, viaducts and railways. To carry out the many diverse duties the mounts could be heavily laden; a typical load might weigh nine stone and estimating the weight of the rider at eleven stone the average weight carried by a horse was at least twenty stone. Such burdens could only be effectively carried by careful attention to the horses often at the cost of a trooper’s much needed sleep and rest- a trooper s first duty was always to his horse, and it was important that when on the march the regulation compulsory halt of ten minutes on the hour be maintained, to refresh the horses and adjust the loads.
