Recreating a Greek Cavalryman

[John Conyard]

Peter you are right, but I have never come across this company before. I got mine via Len for the same price. I'm doing the bone scabbard fittings for my cavalry kopis and the short sword which should brighten them up a little.

My books show the Pindos coming in at around 13 hands, the Peneia up to 14 hands due to selective breeding and the Skyrian at only 11 hands up to occassionally 12 hands.

Due largely to lack of wooden framed saddles I think it is relatively easy to get Greek cavalry equipment together. However teaching yourself to use it with little to hold you on the horse is more challenging, but more rewarding as well.

It would be great to see other Greek cavalry impressions.
