War and the Horse in Modern Combat
The piece argues horses have had limited frontline roles in major campaigns like Balaclava and Gallipoli. It notes cavalry in modern war is constrained by artillery and terrain, with horses serving mainly transport and supply tasks rather than decisive charges. The essay suggests future battles may offer more chances for mounted prowess if central powers weaken and cavalry gains space on the field.
