Salvete Omnes,
a short entry, but with some interesting works linked in there - for your pleasure and perusal.
Do canter away with Xenophon and his horse
when Henry G. Dakyns translated Xenophon's Cavalry Commander (Hipparch, Hipparchicus) - I posted it here -
so Henry Dakyns also made his own analysis of this treatise with annotations - nota bene a short entry to the Greek cavalry prior to the age of Philip II & his son Alexander (Macedonian conquerors eg prof. Ilkka Sylvanne article on their Art of War) by S. Skarmintzos on Academia.
so if it pleases you, read away
and chlamys recreated
and there is this PhD. thesis - Of Horses And Men Developments in Greek Cavalry Training and Warfare (550-350 BC) - by Annelies Koolen-who has a very extensive equestrian background (page 277 in her dissertation)- but I have not read it yet (it is awaiting my reading list's longish line ) .
Valete
