Just ordered a McClellan saddle, already have a wool blanket (I wear it as a cloak for old norse/similar costuming), thanks for the lesson on how to fold it properly!
Man... I don't want to reenact Civil War, but those clips are so interesting I keep on watching :) Greetings from Poland! I rode McLellan while training horseback archery and just wanted to learn amore before buying myself such saddle. Now I want to get all the gear and go for a few days trails to see how it really works :)
Sir, thanks for your research and videos. I’m new to reenacting and the work you’ve done saves a ton of time for us. Your work will also make it easier for other people to get into this great hobby. One question for y’all with experience....how do you clean the saddle blanket? The tag says dry clean only....I prefer to not risk getting those chemicals on my horse. Thanks again and have a great day.
Joey, Yes the one we are using in this video is the standard blue Woolrich blue cavalry blanket. It is nothing like the originals but is honestly the closest we have available right now. I use this one to sleep on while I use my issued army blanket to sleep under.
civilwar ng1 well I'm just trying to reenact history so we don't forget it and plus I live in a confederate state and my ancestor were confederate so I'm trying to see what they went through

Great video.

I have a question on page 20 of Cogdon’s; what does tattoo mean?
Hi. Is that blanlet the Woolrich Cavalry blanket? If so, how do you enjoy it? Is it good for sleeping outside without a fire? is it fairly windproof?

Hello chaps, in the British WW1 Cavalry groups we fold the blanket exactly the same way, i just called in to see how our colonial cousins did it...
I been wondering
My first reenactment is in 6 days Oct 27-29 Battle of Leatherwood can wait!!
Have fun Kyler!
