Horses or Tanks – who wins?
Cavalry charges: that’s how it used to be in the good old days! But then came the Tank: dirty, ugly, noisy and of course terribly effective in battle. So the horses moved from the battlefield to other parts of the Army.
So it must be a bit of a surprise to find that the British Army still has more Horses than Tanks even today.
According to a response to a Freedom of Information request the Army currently has 485 horses, compared to 227 Challenger Main Battle Tanks.
Progress, but at what price?
