On the Limesmarch with Marcus Junkelmann, we used the tough little Carmarque horses from Southern France. Marcus believed the skeletal characteristics of some ancient Roman horses were quite close to these. They had excellent endurance and on some day we were up to 16 hours in the saddle (real 4-horned Roman saddles), and carried full Roman eqipment. This went on for several weeks straight, and no horses dropped out.<br>
