Movies: Alexander, Braveheart, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, The Lighthorsemen, LOTR: Return of the King, Mongol, The Patriot, Robin Hood, Taras Bulba, The Last Samurai, The Four Feathers, Waterloo
Growing up with horses I always found it so fascinating that such an easily spooked prey animal, with fierce instincts to flee from danger and chaos, will run to it when man asked him to.
River Raymond I have a horse
My horse Honey was great at charging
I would invite you to study Surah Adiyaat from Holy Quran. In it is the mention of horses.
@@anummunir3953 I don't like terr0rism and violence sorry.
As someone who rides and hangs with horses everyday, I can tell you that war horses possess extraordinary courage. Instinctively, horses run like hell from loud noises and explosions (they're flight critters). Some 1.5 million horses died in the Civil War. Horses are amazing animals.
Agreed on all. Well said. Polo ponies are present-day live examples.
Dogs are mans best friend but horses made history
And cats rule the whole process.
Cats are gods in ancient Egypt. Lmao.
Alexander Hay-Whitton Nah Australian Light Horse made history

Why are you excited about that? It was Waterloo’s 204th Anniversary yesterday the Charge uk did against France but we won it
Innovationtechnologiques. Espère yep I loved the victory Charge Of Australian Light Horse
"May we never use such a beautiful animal for warfare ever again." Amen.
now they die in slaughterhouses battlefield is much better place to die
yes a noble Death !! in the battlefield
leon george 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dumbass! Horses are meant and bred fro war! For glory and death!
george patton Horses made History for a long period of time and best charges in history to
Horses will forever be the backbone of the world. The crane that lifted us to such heights. Without horses we would never have advanced this quickly.
This was one of my best dreams yet. Prince Philip and I were getting ready to leave Buckingham palace but the Queen saw us escaping. Prince Philip had 2 horses and we charged out together, little did he know the Queen was behind in seconds. After charging miles away from Buckingham Palace, Prince Philip honoured me the title of Princess of Edinburgh.
so ist es.
The Horse has been one of the greatest creatures ever. Then You have the Dog, which is a really awesome companion
Randell Darcky
Yea I love my horses
Especially my Bella I’m seeing her Saturday
@Based 3Odat
Dogs are better. Cry about it. Your pathetic cringe disgusting cats have done nothing for their entire meaningless existence. Dogs have written History.
@Based 3Odat
Imagine liking your own comment. Lmao sad lowlife cat lover.
@Based 3Odat
cats are a joke compared to Doggies. Dogs are the best. So are Horses. Your cats are just gonna burn in the dirtiest pits of hell
I come back to this video every year or so. Uploaded should be proud of creating such a compilation.
I’m here because I have 2 more weeks defending 2021 and I have succeeded
Where would humanity stand today without the horse?
In the dirt
+Saskia Meier ...or more importantly, the horse collar. Without that invention, the horse was, at best, a hungry, thirsty one-man personnel carrier that could be stopped by a long, sharp pointy thingie.
+Saskia Meier On its own two feet.
+Riley Larcombe - It's a matter of energy efficiency. A horse, carrying one man consumes about 10 times the feed that a man does: an overall energy loss. A horse, yoked with something like an Egyptian Chariot yoke can only produce 5 men's worth of work - again an energy loss. A proper horse collar allows the horse to perform as 15 or more men can perform, which is an energy gain. In the cavalry context, this is important because of the logistics tail needed to support horse and trooper. Cavalry units operated on their own only while raiding and scouting, which were relatively quick or short ranged actions. They would otherwise require feed and food, farriers and spares (tack and weapons), extra ropes, tentage, etc. The more efficient the logistics, the more efficient the horse soldier.
Now Riley, I see that you have learned a couple of new words on your school bus. They aren't generally used in polite company, especially when you don't know who you are talking to. Use them in the wrong context, and you come off sounding like a little twit. If you have any questions about the big words I used, such as "energy" or "logistics", ask your science or history teacher.
+soupbone I got roasted sorry idk why I swore in that comment
Wonder how the adrenaline must've felt when charging into battle for whatever you're fighting for.
Haha. Me and my Australian friends will be doing that a Calvary Charge with my other Horsemen
My Grandfather was in the Romanian Cavalry around the 1890s told me the saddle was a Box shape, he was a tailor by trade and made Uniforms for the Offices. When he came to America His Mother, my Great Grandmother paid the local Kommissar one Ruple every month to keep him on the Army roles
I think it’s the horses that make it epic XD
Kelsey Marshall the Light Horse does because that was real life and the best cavalry charge to end modern warfare in history
Charles Darwin the founder of evolution
I learned it from my friends in Australia
They’ve been amazing, supportive friends for a year now
"May we never use such a beautiful animal for warfare ever again." Sad, but unfortunately so true.
Yes, I hope so. The U.S. Marine Corps has a war memorial next to the grave of a horse. She was in a battle during WWI and traveled often by herself back and forth from the front lines to the rear hauling wounded men, supplies and ammunition. It was like she sensed that what she was doing was critical. She was given a medal and made Sargent with a home and pension for life. When she passed away in later years the memorial was erected next to her grave site. The town in which I now live has a war memorial for the animals who served and died in our wars and not just horses but dogs, mules and others. Very,very cool.
Small correction, it was in the Korean War and her name was Reckless.
I heard the Germans ww2 losses in horse were 600,000.
I would never let my girl Bella go to war
Even though she has an epic canter Charge
Waterloo (Rod Steiger as Napoleon and Christopher Plummer as Wellington) was a Russian/Italian movie, produced by Dino de Laurentis and directed by Sergei Bondarchuk (who also directed Warn and Peace). It required over ten thousand conscript troops as extras, dressed in period uniforms and about 2000 horsemen to recreate the cavalry charges.
Beautifully done, a beautiful tribute to the noblest creature on earth
And to the Aussies died in Beersheba that Day too
The most greatest cavalry charge than i never seen is rohan after the mordor siege aginst gondor
Happy anniversary 204th Waterloo
Magnificent,what a wonderful film.It is years since I saw the The Lighthorsemen and the charge of The Scots Greys at Waterloo is so wonderfully shot, it is just like Lady Butlers painting come to life.
Love that scene, 800 horsemen taking Beersheba! People say that because the horses were so thirsty and could smell the water is why they went so fast! I have a different theory, these guys were Australians right! Australians love their beer, ok so far! I reckon that the last part of the sign was missing that said Beersheba and all the Ausies saw was BEER! Yay!
Relic Hunter yep there Australians. They charged towards the Turkish trenches to take Beersheeba in 1917
I think that Polish hussars was the best cavalry! They look wonderful!
+Satnnis Baratheon what does looks have to do with it? the most beautiful of women may be a poor lover ,but a passionate plain in looks generous loving women i would have any day .
+Satnnis Baratheon lets use horses not men...
+XxVidzxX you are Lannister, Bolton or fan of Denerys??? If I had a polish hussars, I would be a king, now!
+XxVidzxX I am one true king, you are liar!
+Satnnis Baratheon Check out Hakkapeliittas, Finnish light cavalry in 30 year war... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakkapeliitta
This is basically my favorite video of all time.
Haylee Powell I did this on my birthday
Best birthday ever next birthday I get to love my Aussie lover
We will do a horse charge in Australia
The embodiment of glory, majesty and royalty, gentlemen, for me the horse is the most complete animal of all.
The opening scenes in Gladiator are as amazing as these. Glad part of it was included. The music was brilliant.
Lori Colvin made me want me and my Australian lover to Charge into war
Having dealt with horses for a massive part of my life, in teams pulling wagons/sleighs, we owe our lives to these beautiful and powerful masters of strength.

My friends have horses, every Saturday I charge on them
I was once riding once through a village in the mountains with a group of about 10 people, we had all magnificent, huge horses, and a villager actually stood in his garden, watching us in tears, and he said that he last saw this amount of horses in an actual horse charge in an actual war. I think that the horse charge in itself, when it's not used for war, it's an amazing experience. And what a sound! Horses are truly magnificent, and should never take part in any war again.
I actually ridden a horse much bigger than my friends beloved horse Bella and I was charging on him but luckily I didn’t fall off
I have famous ancestors, diplomats and military leaders predating the 1400s. Several were generals, one at Waterloo the Napoleonic wars, one was a Welsh rebellion leader and our latest military excursion was a father, a Lancaster pilot over Europe in World War 2. I can understand the comradery and united friendship and blended skill between man and horse on the battlefield.
When you lead a cavalry charge in mount and blade
Against unarmed villagers!
and get suddenly stoped right infront of them like if they where made out of steel
then crusaders appear
Finish your sentence mate! You stopped half way????
*blunt pain sounds*
*generic GRRRRRRRRR!*
"Look back at our struggle for freedom, trace our present day's strength to its source; and you'll find man's pathway to glory is strewn with the bones of a horse"
Superb film :) Inspiring, thrilling, heart-breaking. :)
God forbid we ever use horses in war again, but we should stand in awe of them. They built our civilisation, the very industry of this world we take for granted could not have been achieved quite so fast without them :)
There have been and are, many wondrous and magnificent sights in this world, but, in all the world there is no more magnificent sight, no more inspiring imagery than to watch the fire and courage of the war horse in full charge, when his blood is up, and he carries 'his' warrior into battle,, he smells it, he hears it, he sees it,, he feels it in his blood,, and yet, he charges without fear or hesitation,,,,if, there is, a more inspiring or more magnificent image in all the world, Show it to me,, I dare you,,,
This depicts a time when battles were sure enough battles...
The power and majesty of war horses.
My friends horse Pearl is that fast
I rode her 1 week before lockdown and her canter was pretty fast but I was so brave. I ridden her again before my 19th birthday and I loved her. I even ridden Ben the biggest horse up there
I almost galloped with her because she is that fast
From European knights with heavy armor to Arab light cavalry
These horseman change course of history
1000% true
Love horses and wish to own one someday, God willing, In shaa Allah 🥰🐎❤
Horses made history and they still do today-I have 3 of my own. Such magical and amazing creatures-I am very blessed 💓
Titan Dragon same here I have 2 horses Breeze and Bella my best girls taking over Honeys horse Charge

*Death Death Death*
the cavalry charge was a truly terrifying thing to be standing in ranks and to have a mass of horses racing at you at full speed and having the ground shaking under you and to have no way to stop the massive wall must have been just terrifying there are stories of lines falling apart before even being hit by the charge the sheer power must have been awe inspiring
"Let's F*CKING Gooooooo!"
That’s what I think before cantering on Bella, normally say ‘come on Bella!’
I love her charge to bits
She knows when I’m ready to go because she picks up canter as I’m about to hold on the saddle and rains in the other hand and I cannot wait to finally let go

''I can make a general in five minutes. But a good horse is hard to replace'' - Abraham Lincoln
At Waterloo horses were dying at a rate of 1,000 per hour.
Philip Walton During the Charge at Waterloo a huge amount of horses and men were killed by french forces and gun fire it was horrible
That is war, the way it was back then but could you prefer warfare now where a machine Drone or an unseen enemy can take out without seen you die even?.
This week is 205 years since Waterloo War in 1803-1815
I go through this crazy feeling when i ride along on the full speed in the open steppe, may God keep us in the saddle forever inshallah
Pearl almost went at full speed when I cantered on her for the first time and hardly panicked at all. I mean she’s like 26 now
I thanked Sue for allowing me to finally have a go on her
Have you given the horse its strength or clothed its neck with a flowing mane? Did you give it the ability to leap forward like a locust. Its majestic snorting is something to hear! It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength. When it charges to war, it is unafraid. It does not run from the sword. The arrows rattle against it, and the spear and javelin flash. Fiercely it paws the ground and rushes forward into battle when the trumpet blows. It snorts at the sound of the bugle. It senses the battle even at a distance. It quivers at the noise of battle and the shout of the captain's commands.
JOB CH. 39 verses 19-25
Horses charging into battle will forever be epic asf
Adam if my Aussie lover did that haha
I’ll lead the Charge, my Australian lover right by me
This was a time when knew the real meaning of a honorable death with was in battle
Thanks for including the Aussie Waler.
Yah needed to know that because that was my favourite part of War history thanks to my Australian friends who told me about that Charge
And Thus, Two Steps From Hell became the unofficial You Tube Epic Anthem `they used on EVERYTHING.
kingdom of heaven, one of the most famous film...
olivier ledaire I might buy that I don’t know yet but I’ll think about it it looks amazing too all the horse charge films look to good to buy
The list of movies is not only at the end of the video but also in the video description
The Light horsemen
Waterloo
Lord of the rings: The return of the king
My favourite war movies of 2019
horses are the most beautiful creatures. their elegant and the power of their movements are filled with such grace it makes many men stare in awe and wonder...
Better yet...may our greed never put us in tanks, planes and other such machinery, to wage war against each other again. The horse is the most fearless of beasts, it charges into battle without consideration to consequences. To the contrary, men know the danger of warfare yet they press on to the grave, so who's the greater fool, the horse or its rider?
The horse lives to run and be useful, humans however are more flawed. Since they recklessly rush into battle for too often more than sometimes reasons not worth fighting for. Specially when peaceful options are available to avoid war for humans.
Axel Durman A Horse charge would be safer than being in tanks etc I prefer a horse Charge
Horses are a really cool animal in the fact that they can be used in all sorts of fields, from leisure and outback riding to plowing fields and war mounts. They are certainly a contender for best support animal
What a shame, they forgot to put the most beautifull calvary that ever existed, the winged polish hussars

"Cavalry". "Calvary" is a hill.
The Horse Charge is like running with a super car over 300 km ... until the moment of crush!!
Santo Paok4 My Horse Honey would be good for a cavalry charge
But she’s not with me anymore I lost her
So Bella my girl has been taking over Honey’s charging
As McClellen said in the Civil War, 1 infantry battalion could easily wipe out 10 cavalry battalions..........and he proved it which is why cavalry became "mounted" infantry.
Absolutely correct, but definitely the 1 infantry battalion wrecking 10 cav battalions is way overblown. :) The Civil War rifled musket had the capability of aimed shots accurate out to 300 yards. Therefore, cavalry charges with those nice big & tall target horses & riders against prepared rifled musket armed infantry generally became a recipe for the charging cavalry's defeat.
Waterloo’s 204th Anniversary today
cavalry were once the greatest troops a general could hope for. A fitting tribute for the world's best shock troops
Horsemanship at it's Finest!
Arnold Mackey 1:15 me and my lover from Australia’s Light Horse Charge
Thanks Tinman. I showed this video to my 14 year olds in their history class to explain the fact that warfare and the relationship between man and horse had changed little in 2000 years, I followed it by showing the scene from Warhorse when the British cavalry are suddenly faced with the German machine guns after initially suprising the Germans, We were able to have a discussion about the mechanisation of war and new technology linking it to the Somme and the use of new technology. Thanks. Buzz
Old type cavalry is still good. But it has to be used with great care. Horses are not tanks.
If you have ever heard the thunder of a hundred galloping horses (I sat on one) you would not underline that with music. It chills your spine!
corvus corax The Light horsemen Charge actually
Me and the boys charging at the opposing army to defend the land
I’m defending 2021 right now and I’ll defend it better when I’m riding again
Historically the Polish Hussars were one of the few Hussar units that were in fact heavy cavalry and they did quite well during their time against the mass musket formations of the time because of their tactics. (The wiki of the polish hussars explains this well) In short they started far apart and only closed the ranks before the charge hit to avoid heavy losses from volley 'wall of steel' fire on the aproach. They also had supply carts with spare lances so they could charge multiple times.
Outstanding montage, Tinman. I shall be working with my students on the history of cavalry this year, and this will be an excellent intro video. Was there ever a more splendid creature than the cavalry horse?
Magnifique ...

I’m also doing candles for the 75 years rememberance
In 1526 at Mohacz, almost 25.000 Hungarian knights started riding over Ottoman army. When they came close enough to Ottoman lines, the very first line of Ottomans opened toward left and right ends and 300 guns behind them started firing synchronously. after only two hours vast majority of the knights were lying on the ground with their horses together. time for knights had gone long ago. afterwards cavalry charge didn't have strategical importance. it played a secondary role in warfare.
Almost every horse charge is wrong. A horse can not be rode full tilt for that amount of distance, unless it's your intention to kill your horse. Reality, they would start off with a slow canter until they were only a few hundred yards away, then break into a full gallop.
+Robert Hickson "Moreover, the horses were bred to run very fast with a heavy load and to recover quickly. These were hybrids of old, Polish equine lineage and eastern horses, usually from Tatar tribes. As a result, a horse could walk hundreds of kilometres loaded with over 100 kilograms (warrior plus armour and weaponry) and instantly charge. Also, hussar horses were very quick and manoeuvrable. This made hussars able to fight with any cavalry or infantry force from western heavy cuirassiers to quick Tatars." about Winged Hussars - source wikipedia, you can dig for yourself if you wish ;)
+Robert Hickson the old orders were:- walk, Trot, Canter, Gallop........CHARGE::::
+Robert Hickson I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE BEST HORSE CHARGE IT HAS TO BE charge of the light brigade WITH errol flynn
+Robert Hickson - they do that in the film The Lighthorsemen (Australian Walers were the best horse for the desert charge as they could go about 3 days without water etc) and as per peter fordens comment above.
Ignorance is bliss, eh?
This video should have way more views then it has
Love the Australian Lighthorse footage. Last successful cavalry charge in history!
+gnarkillkicksass Wrong, the last cavalry charge happened in 1941 at Isbuzenskij, Don Front (Soviet Union) performed by the Novara Regiment of the Savoia Cavalleria Division of the Italian Army. Last succesful cavalry charge where sabers were actually employed by the troopers.
Fair enough. These guys weren't even cavalry.
gnarkillkicksass Who weren't cavalry?
@The Australian Lighthorsemen. The were mounted infantry which is why their charge was successful, they only had bayonets in hand and surprised the Germans/Turks.
In 1918 the Germans were successfully charged by the British and Canadians cavalry in March and the Belgians in October.
"Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the weapons. He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword. The quiver rattles against him, the flashing spear and javelin. With shaking and rage he races over the ground, and he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet...
Well, you know the day EMP's knocks out all modern warfare we will be riding horses into battle again and using them to pull artillery and stuff. Only now we gun better guns and longer range weapons. It co8uld be nice if we kept the lances and blades for close combat at least. When we run out of bullets we will go back to Arrows, Crossbows, Bows, and Spears too.
soon, horses will have reactive explosive armor with mounted 50 cal guns
yes this kind of warfare will return sooner then later!! more glory here anyway
+eastsidemuu There is a frayed line between 'glory' and utterly gory
Gory not so much, traumatic? To your average 21st century citizen, very.
It would be utterly gory. Have you ever read reports of failed, and even some successful, cavalry charges
I most definitely agree with the statement above. Thanks for the music. I'll look it up on YT.
"May we never use such a beautiful animal for warfare ever again."
Elephants must be very sad when they aren't talked about here XD
After fuel end humans will use horses and will be back to this age

Fighting, power and grace
Death from above, it's an army of wings
im a history buff and I watch and study a lot of timelines throughout history where horses were very needed it, almost all battles before the 1900s people needed horses for work in the fields, battle, traveling, and push carts......one thing I wish we never advance of getting place to place. I would love it riding horses, even it take days or week to get where you want to go. if you couldn't fine a town or if you wanted, just take camp and tie the horses, I really wish we still wore horses
Very good Beautiful

Winged Hussars are the best
I wish all the modern technology would dissappear so war could go back to when it was honourable. Argue all you want, but real courage ceased to exist when firearms took over warfare. Cavalry charges are glorious, anybody who says otherwise should watch this video.

Sagely said. Beautiful to behold -- but no horse should ever again be used for war.
Mongols best cavalry
Except for the Cossacks.
Alan Crandall I wish I could lead a Calvary Charge
all i can think right now is : epic and beautiful
Yes. I also found this info: "Soldiers of the Red Army were used as extras to portray the British army. They panicked repeatedly and scattered during the filming of some of the cavalry charges. Attempts to reassure them by marking the closest approach of the horses with white tape similarly failed, and the scene was cut."
the cavalry was always considered a place of honor and nobility on the battlefield, and as a descendant of all american cavalry the modern american cav still takes our heritage very seriously

Magnifico! Non ho parole per definire così tanta magnificenza! Gloria e Onore ai cavalieri che furono, che sono e che saranno!
Magnificent! I have no words to describe so much magnificence! Glory and Honor to the knights who were, are and will be!
Tinman4368 ...I so, so agree with you ....may we never use this beautiful animal for warfare ever again .....a distressing past, hopefully never ever to repeat itself in the future.
Agreed don’t want to see our Army suffer in trenches ever again
According to Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War, cavalries are no match to a Roman Legion on foot. Cavalries were used to flank and harass the main army, but using it as a main attacking force usually ends up in defeat. It was like the Germans using the Luftwaffe as the main attacking force for the Battle of Britain. It ended up as a complete waste of resources and loss of experienced pilots.
Roy I want to go to War now and do the WarHorse charge but I’ll be really scared but if the Army are with me I won’t be
In contrary Roman legions were no matche for cavalry

While rare horses are still in active combat service. There are some pretty famous photos of U.S. Special Operation Forces on horseback from Afghanistan (there's even a monument to those soldiers), & Sudanese guerrillas still use them. India still still maintains an actual operational cavalry regiment. I'm sure there are others but those are off the top of my head. The horse hasn't seen its last day in combat yet. Google horses afgahnistan special operation forces. You'll find stories & pics.
The cavalry represented our youngest, our brightest, and more often than not the greatest of our generation. There's a reason for the saying "Here come's the cavalry." But now...
That was beautiful. Thank you for posting that.
Come back to this video every year
Actually the most horses charging into battle was at the battle of Vienna in 1683. Over 20,000 troops charged the Ottoman Army.
