The Mounted Troops of the British Army: 1066-1945 gives the history of the cavalryman's service from the days when the Normans brought the war horse to England, till garages replaced stables in military barracks. It deals with his uniform and equipment, his weapons and horses, and his life in peace and war. No attempt has been made to describe campaigns or battles, except to provide such background as is required to show the conditions under which the horse soldier fought, and the methods he used.

The description of one regiment in 1836 is: the two right troops had bays, the third from the right chestnuts, the fouth duns, the fifth piebalds, skewbalds and horses of all colors, the sixth blacks, and the seventh and eighth grays. All these horses had long tails.
