The development of horse trappings and cavalry equipment used by the Polish Army during the interwar period. Richly illustrated with archival photographs, official documents and rare period images.
Horse trappings
Horse trappings was an essential part of every cavalryman's equipment, yet its development involved far more than the design of saddles and bridles. This richly illustrated volume follows the Polish Army's efforts to create its own cavalry equipment, presenting the evolution of horse trappings, the complex design process behind its development, and the military requirements that shaped its final form.
Rather than focusing solely on surviving museum pieces, the book explores the decisions, concepts and technical solutions that led to the introduction of Polish-made horse equipment for mounted troops. Based on archival research, it offers a fascinating insight into an often-overlooked aspect of cavalry history and the development of military equipment in the Second Polish Republic.
