Well, I found my picture references at home, but _no_
primary sources for the text was given (usually this
author is meticulous about appending her sources). 
And the on-site references I glanced at Tues nite
looked good -- until I read the URL today, which
indicates that it refers to the Crimean War -- hardly
applicable!  (But it's interesting reading for the
horse or cavalry enthusiast - here they are:)

[Note that there are some errors in horsemanship here,
but it's worth reading anyway.]

So I'm going to have to change 'revolution' WRT
cavalry tactics to 'sea-change'...does that sit
better, Damon?  `:}

A couple of previous statements also need to be
modified: where I spoke of 'antiquity...Andalusians' I
should have written 'Iberians,' which includes
Andalusians, Lusitanos, and Alter-Reals.  The native
Spanish horses crossed with oriental stock _became_
'jennets;' they were not jennets before the Moorish
additions (the word apparently derived from the
Zenetes, a Moorish tribe).

a spring snowstorm rolled in and hasn't left yet,
although it is diminishing
