EDITORS COMMENTS

"Horse Back: A Timeless Connection to History and Adventure" From Queen Elizabeth II in the uniform of Grenadier Guards to the Bayeaux Tapestry portraying the Norman Conquest, horses have played a significant role throughout history. They have been loyal companions, symbols of power, and steadfast partners in battle. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by William McLaren, we witness the valorous knight riding into adventure on his trusty steed. The Royal Logistic Corps relies on these magnificent creatures for transportation and support during military operations. Even Sir William Wallace rode gallantly into battle astride his horse, inspiring his fellow Scotsmen with unwavering courage. The image of the British army advancing at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 is forever etched in our minds - a testament to both human bravery and equine strength. Similarly, Scipio Africanus meeting Hannibal at the Battle of Zama reminds us that horses were not only tools of war but also brought together great leaders from opposing sides. The Battle of Agincourt about to begin in 1415 showcases how horses were essential for knights charging towards victory. Even Buffalo soldiers found solace as they drank from their canteens while mounted on their trusted companions. Artillery and horses depicted in Hs Power's painting at Ypres during World War I remind us that even amidst modern warfare technology, these majestic animals remained indispensable allies. And let us not forget St. George slaying a dragon as depicted in Greek Orthodox iconography - an enduring symbol representing triumph over evil through equestrian prowess. But it's not all about battles; sometimes it's simply about embracing nature's beauty. Horse riding on the beach at sunrise evokes feelings of freedom and serenity – a connection between humans and animals that transcends time itself. Whether galloping across historic battlegrounds or peacefully exploring scenic landscapes, "Horse Back" encapsulates our timeless fascination with these magnificent creatures.
