Its only reinforced by the increased amount of weapons available, lack of goods and general lawlessness in the area
With that line up I was disappointed to not see an elephant
Is that a donkey at 0:31? As if it was not absurd enough with cavalry… Can we please give him a participation trophy?
LoL what a time to be alive
Curious why you specified “Horse Cavalry” in the title when there are a bunch of Donkeys and Camels mixed in there. I know it’s a dated meme, but…1870 called; they want their militia back.
Arise, arise, Riders of Dafur! spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride!!!
Lawrence of Arabia 👀
i hope they don’t “ride” into battle, the ponies deserve better.
Ride now, ride now, ride!
Ride for ruin, and the world’s ending!
Death!
DEATH!
DEATH!!!
There is a camel in the lineup too lol
I feel like NCD will take this clip very reasonably and won’t make 3,000 memes of horseback riders
“Then the winged hussars arrived…”
Im gonna take my horse to the old town road…
I think I saw John Dutton and rip wheeler.
Cant wait for a cavalry charge to machineguns footage
World War 1 Colorized
Did this actually happen In 2023?
Holy shit, never in my lifetime did I think to see horse Calvary
There are donkeys too
First time I’ve seen multiple donkeys and a mule included in the cavalry
Horses are also a common feature of the broader herder-pastoralist conflicts across the continent. There have always been tensions between nomadic herder populations and settled farming populations, but decreased water availability has increased the violence of the clashes between these modes of living in Africa.
Makes me wish we had gopros during the Sioux wars. Imagine Custer running around with a GoPro getting shot with arrows and repeating rifle rounds.

Peak non credibility
Like the good Ol days of 1899
More cavalry content less drones please 🙏
“Mom, can we pick up a Ride of the Rohirrim?”
“No, we have Ride of the Rohirrim at home.”
Ride of the Rohirrim at home:
I love the ones riding a donkey haha!
fwiw Egypt and probably others have [camel cavalry](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_cavalry)
Horses have remained a major feature of warfare in Sudan. Remember that the RSF who are currently fighting a civil war against the government are a successor force to the *janjaweed*, which means Devils on Horseback. The *janjaweed* were the main perpetrators of the genocide in Darfur in the 2000s, and there are plenty of images of them on [horses](https://sudanreeves.org/2014/04/22/the-infamous-janjaweed-militia-now-recycled-into-the-rapid-response-forces/) and [camels](https://martinplaut.com/2022/09/09/italy-trains-janjaweed-cutthroats-but-parliament-doesnt-know-africa-express-revelations-made-in-the-senate/) during that time.
