Distance marching rates, infantry v cavalry
#13
Quote: However, I expect that the majority of the remounts marched with the legionaries - probably with a nose-bag stuffed with hay!

Quote:Hate to be a bit nit picky but if you put hay in a bag under the horse's nose you'll probably suffocate it. Grain, yes; hay no.

About two hours ago, while staggering up an Exmoor hillside, I realised I shouldn't have written 'stuffed with hay' and that Vindex will pull me up! Quite right too.

Regards, Steve
