I would not claim to be an expert on horses however in my earlier years I did work with small ponies but this was 1,000 feet below ground and 5 miles out under the north sea, this was where they were used in pulling tubs of coal in tiny tunnels and one sat imediately behind the backside of the pony.
Where I hear that the Britains mostly went to war in chariots can this be absoloutly true in all situations for when we find the Romano/British horse and rider brooches these show a rider with of course the spiked hair similar to the one I show here. It has been said that these brooches are of 2nd/3rd century date but the spiked hair might suggest a possible earlier date for some of them.
