Tlie Cavalryman's chief weapon is his horse : it must 

 be the most used and the best kept of all his arms. 



All your training, all your excelling in marksmanship 

 and horsemanship, scouting or drill, is of little use on 

 service if you have not also mastered, both in theory 

 and practice, the most important step of all — horse- 

 mastership. 



In this direction a study of Captain Poison's clear 

 and comprehensive handbook will be a great help.
