Yesterday’s Skills in Today’s World
This course is built for those who want to experience mounted movement, tactical packing, and terrain-based combat operations. Over four days, students learn how to structure and maneuver a mounted unit, adapt battle drills for dismount, condition your mount for endurance, and streamline your gear for multi-day patrols.
We cover everything from saddle packing and gait transitions to terrain exploitation, contact drills, and veterinary field medicine. You’ll work in small teams, plan patrol routes, and execute a full mounted exercise with peer critique and instructor feedback.
This two day introductory course is designed for those who wish to delve into the concepts of Mounted Infantry operations without spending the money for a horse. In this course we will cover a narrow band of topics geared around the mounted infantry section/squad. Topics we will cover will be Horse Selection, Saddle selection, Saddling, Mounted Patrolling principles, an introduction to packing logistics, how to load the saddle for multi-day operations, and an introduction to mounted battle drills.
This is a great course for the student that wishes to delve into the realm of mounted infantry without diving headlong into horse ownership. ALL skill levels of riders are welcome to this course as riding is not the primary focus of the course. HORSES WILL NOT BE REQUIRED FOR THIS COURSE, but are welcome.
