Yep, just the point! So learning to have the horse jump a log, low hedgerow or wicker fence with its rider is a very good thing indeed, but should for the sake of accuracy not be taken much further then that, in my opinion. The shield wall charging and even jumping some do does not reflect the way the cavalry was used, so I think that should be excluded from public demo's. OK, I concede, this is only an opinion based on little fact, but it does tie into what cavalry would have had to face at worst. Charging a solid body of men Braveheart style is great for cinema, but most horses are way too smart to do such a thing, unless perhaps half blinded (by a camphron)?
