Slavete Omnes,
From British Museum, under Creative Commons licence, comes this XVI century print by the German printmaker Jost Amman, who frequently drew and printed images of the Ottoman warriors and soldiers.
It comes from this print, lavishly published by Jost Amman, and the British institution has only this etching. The etching shows some episode from the Ottoman wars in Hungarian Kingdom of the 1520-30s. .

Salvete Omnes,
a short entry - dr Adrian Goldsworthy, historian & novelist (his Roman period novels are good entertainment ).
So dr Goldsworthy, in a rather typical British fashion of not knowing about Polish cavalry or history (like the Polish and Red army cavalries 1917-45), delivers a lecture on the Napoleonic era mounted troops and use of horses by the armies. - this is the video on Yt.
And some of my old Napoleonic ulan (uhlan -lancer) and cheavulegers art.

I started with dr William Taylor, author of Hoof Beats, and his lecture on the archaeological 'broken narratives' around horse domestication in southern Russia and Kazakhstan steppes of west-central Eurasia. (His article on Botai horizon & horses). The 1 hour presentation is followed by a q&a session.
Photos of Przewalski horses and feral/wild horses (known as mustangs in America) - all images are from Wiki Commons.
