All of the horses in War Horse regularly practice weekly to work as a team and often the horses can follow the 65 maneuvers that are called by voice command. A few of our equine warriors are rescues and have joined the ranks with eagerness.
The majority of the horses in War Horse are Arabian horses, which are the oldest registered equestrian breed. The Arabian horse is one of the most suitable all-around horse for cavalry and equestrian sports. Arabians horses excel in long distance riding - 100 miles or more, as well as jumping, horse racing & dressage. We also have Connemara who is a therapy horse for Special Spirit, a Andalusian who is a veteran Rose Parade horse, and a Quarter Horse who excels as a hunter/jumper.

These 1815 Scots Greys wear trademark bearskin caps and red wool tunics with matching red valises on the back of saddles. The Prussian Lieb Hussars are a famous cavalry regiment back to the times of Frederick the Great. These 1809 era hussars are in black tunics with silver metal braid. The Bavarian Chevaulegers are the famous cavalry regiment from the kingdom of Bavaria in 1813. In green wool tunics and the signature Raupenhelm helmet, the chevaulegers fought with Napoleon on the campaign to Moscow and then later against Napoleon. The French Chasseurs (in the green tunics) and Cuirassiers (in the Blue tunic) are some the vaunted French Heavy Cavalry that served Napoleon from Spain, Italy, Russia, Austria to the muddy fields of Waterloo.
Many of the Saddles with War Horse are original European cavalry saddles nearly 100 years old. War Horse has working saddles that are over 150 years old.
