The Animal Holocaust: The Extermination of 8 Million Horses in World War I .
In 1934, the 20th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I was marked by a commemoration in London, England, honoring the heroes of the war. One of the notable figures present was Ragtime, a veteran who had served during the conflict. However, the tribute wasn’t only for the human soldiers but also for the horses that played a crucial role in the war effort. Throughout the war, over 8 million horses lost their lives due to crossfire, disease, exhaustion, and neglect. This is a dark aspect of the war that is rarely mentioned but is essential to understanding the full scope of World War I.
Horses played an essential role in the military logistics of the conflict. However, their sacrifice was immense, and their suffering often went unnoticed. At that time, there were no efficient means of transport as we have today. Horses not only carried supplies, food, and ammunition but also served as a vital part of the cavalry units, which played a strategic role on the battlefield. Mobility, speed, and the ability to carry large amounts of material made horses indispensable in combat, even as technology began to advance.
The Use of Horses in Combat
From the outset of the war, horses were used for various purposes. On the Western Front, where the most bloody battles were fought between the Allied forces and the German Empire, horses were essential for transporting supplies, food, and ammunition. However, as the conflict progressed, the conditions of the terrain and the development of new technologies, such as tanks and airplanes, reduced the role of horses in direct combat. Despite this, their utility in logistical and transport tasks never disappeared.
During the early years of the war, horses were used for cavalry charges, reconnaissance, and even carrying artillery pieces. Their ability to move quickly over rough terrain and provide mobility to the forces made them invaluable. However, as trench warfare became the dominant mode of combat, horses faced unimaginable hardships. They were subjected to the same horrors as the soldiers: constant bombardment, poor living conditions, lack of food and water, and exposure to disease. Despite the perilous conditions, horses were often left to carry on with their duties, their well-being largely ignored by the military authorities.

    Ashame you didn't check the information. There are non-gaited breeds listed and you added to the constant confusion between the Paso Fino and the Peruvian (Paso) Horse by calling the Peruvian gait a "paso fino". The Peruvian gait is the Paso Llano. The 2 breeds are bred for opposite traits. The Paso Fino a short quick step and the Peruvian wants a long stride. Also the Peruvian is the only horse in the world with Termino. That's the swimming motion of the front legs. This eliminates the up and down front motion necessary for other long striding breeds to get the front legs out of the way of the hind. The Peruvian termino allows them to circle out of the way.

    This gait looks unnatural and perhaps it's bad for the horse's joints and it's exhausting as well.

    Workhorses pulled plows and heavy carts before the tractor was invented, they still pull beer carts in Copenhagen. In the 1920s, Carlsberg had around 200 brewer's horses that delivered beer to pubs and shops, but today the horses only deliver beer on very special occasions. The last four horses are Emil, 10 years old, Otto and Gustav, 8 years old, and Ørsted, 4 years old. Home of Carlsberg's horses Home of Carlsberg
