Roman Heavy Cavalry Fighting Techniques
#32
I think the point about a horse becoming used to a wall of shields opening for it
is right on the button. But even when used to it, they sometimes require extra urging. I doubt they would be so willing if the had observed their fellow herd members being impaled and screaming in agony! Mind you, there are always the exception to the rule.

A very interesting debate by the way, many thanks for your knowledge!
