Le Pansage: A Daily Ritual of French Cavalry Grooming in the Early 1900s This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a moment in the daily routine of French cavalrymen during the early 1900s. The scene unfolds at a military camp, where soldiers are seen tending to their horses with meticulous care. The term "pansage" refers to this essential grooming practice, which ensured the horses' health and readiness for combat. The cavalrymen in this image are deeply focused on their tasks. One soldier brushes down his horse's coat, removing dirt and debris, while another checks the animal's hooves for injuries or signs of wear. A third soldier examines the horse's mane and tail, making sure they are free of tangles and knots. The horses themselves seem calm and accustomed to the attention. Their glossy coats gleam in the sunlight, a testament to the diligent care they receive from their handlers. The soldiers' uniforms, with their polished buttons and crisp creases, reflect their pride in their military service and their commitment to maintaining their mounts in top condition. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of French cavalry, a tradition that dates back centuries. The practice of pansage was not only essential for the horses' well-being but also for the morale and effectiveness of the soldiers themselves. By ensuring their horses were healthy and well-groomed, the cavalrymen could focus on their training and preparation for battle, knowing that their mounts were ready to carry them into combat. This image, from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the close bond between soldier and horse, a bond that was forged through daily routines like pansage. It also serves as a reminder of the rich history of military horsemanship and the importance of animal care in the context of military strategy and tactics.
