Cavalry (from French cavalerie, cf. cheval 'horse') or horsemen were soldiers or warriors who fought mounted on horseback. Cavalry were historically the most mobile of the combat arms. An individual soldier in the cavalry is known by a number of designations such as cavalryman, horseman, dragoon, or trooper.
The designation of cavalry was not usually given to any military force that used other animals, such as camels, mules or elephants. Infantry who moved on horseback, but dismounted to fight on foot, were known in the 17th and early 18th centuries as dragoons, a class of mounted infantry which later evolved into cavalry proper while retaining their historic title.
From earliest times cavalry had the advantage of improved mobility, making it an
A man fighting from horseback also had the advantages of greater height, speed, and inertial mass over an opponent on foot. Another element of horse mounted warfare is the psychological impact a mounted soldier can inflict on an opponent.
The speed, mobility and shock value of the cavalry was greatly appreciated and exploited in armed forces in the Ancient and Middle Ages; some forces were mostly cavalry, particularly in nomadic societies of Asia, notably the Mongol armies. In Europe cavalry became increasingly armoured (heavy), and eventually became known for the mounted knights. During the 17th century cavalry in Europe lost most of its armor, ineffective against the muskets and cannon which were coming into use, and by the mid-19th century armor had mainly fallen into disuse, although some regiments retained a small thickened cuirass that offered protection against lances and sabres and some protection against shot.

Plot: Holy Man is the story of Douglas White, an 88 year old Lakota Sioux medicine man from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, who spent 17 years in federal prison for a crime he did not commit. During the making of this film, filmmakers uncovered new evidence of White's innocence and brought the case back to Federal Court. Holy Man offers a rare glimpse into the mysterious world of Lakota religion, their intimate connection to the land, and a provocative expose of the systemic injustice that Native Americans face in the criminal justice system.

The break between tradition and modern warfare was probably most exemplified in the cavalry forces. Riding with shiny breastplates the sabre in hand, charging the enemy in brightly coloured uniforms.

Soldiers. The story of men in battle. A BBC TV series from 1985 in eight parts, introduced by Frederick Forsyth. Rather dated now as a few wars have been fought since, but should be of some interest all the same to the professional soldier, of any age or nationality. I do not claim copyright for any of this material.

"At this crucial juncture, Uxbridge ordered his two brigades of British heavy cavalry, formed unseen behind the ridge, to charge in support of the hard-pressed infantry. Continuing their attack, the squadrons on the left of the Household Brigade then destroyed Aulard's brigade. Despite attempts to recall them, however, they continued past La Haye Sainte and found themselves at the bottom of the hill on blown horses facing Schmitz's brigade formed in squares. Napoleon promptly responded by ordering a counter-attack by the cuirassier brigades of Farine and Travers and Jaquinot's two lancer regiments in the I Corps light cavalry division. The result was very heavy losses for the British cavalry." From the movie Waterloo. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066549/ http://en.wikipedia.org/...

i do not own or make any of this video this is strictly for educational purposes
Getting up is easy, when you're first to get the message, that it's time to put your money where your mouth is today
But if your friends are all asleep and you've got pillows on your feet, then your objectives will be lost, you will float on away
When the cavalry comes, you'll find us lookin for a reason, to break down these walls and jump
When the cavalry comes, you'll find us lookin for a reason, to show you the brave don't run, don't run
A proper cup of coffee, from a proper coffee shop, was all I needed to get a little purpose in life
Well the reasons are clear, my bearings aren't there, my compass points me in the wrong direction all night
But when the cavalry comes, you'll find us lookin for a reason, to break down these walls and jump
When the cavalry comes, you'll find us lookin for a reason, to show you the brave don't run, don't run
They said, I bet, you'll never make it on your own
They said, I bet, you'll never learn this, no no no no!
They said, I bet, you'll never get this, no no no no!
No no no no, no no no no, no no...
But when the cavalry comes, you'll find us lookin for a reason, to break down these walls and jump
When the cavalry comes, you'll find us lookin for a reason, to show you the brave don't run
(Layered)
When the cavalry comes, you'll find us looking for love
On every street-corner and circus in the city tonight
When the cavalry comes, you'll find us looking for trouble
