Prussiand Hussar horses

Post by FreddBloggs »

In the SYW. Were they a mix of horse colours or were they grouped where possible?

Where in that link are the hussar horse colours? I can't find 'em.

Duffy says that Hussars had 'Polish' (i.e. mixed colour, including piebald etc) horses. Essentially last dibs after the Cuirassiers and Dragoons had their pick.

Surely, the cuirassiers and dragoons would be picking big horses, maybe Polish refers to smaller ones.

The cuirassiers went for blacks and dark bays, the dragoons lighter bays and chestnuts and then the hussars had the 'Polish' horses, which seems to have been everything else including the pony club. According to Duffy, anyway.

That meets the COTOTS definition, the lighter the horse, the lighter the horse.
