 Light Horse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Light Horse differed from cavalry in that they usually fought dismounted, using their horses as transport to the battlefield and as a means of swift disengagement when retreating or retiring.
In 1918 some light horse regiments were equipped with sabres, enabling them to fight in a conventional cavalry role during the advance on Damascus.
The Australian waler horse was the common mount for the light horsemen.

They are believed to be descended from either the plateau horses of Central Asia or the Mongolian horses of the grasslands.
Because Japanese horses are generally small in size, the authorities discouraged breeding purebred Kiso and encouraged a crossbreeding program between the Kiso and larger western horses.
The existence of the Kiso breed is mainly due to a single horse kept as a holy horse at a Shinto shrine and therefore had not been castrated.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: The Horse Soldiers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Widely considered an off-movie for Ford — falling as it does between the sentimental political tale The Last Hurrah and the progressive trial film Sergeant Rutledge — the episodic The Horse Soldiers actually is a good example of Fordian filmmaking, as well as being the last of his more-traditional westerns.
The Horse Soldiers was something of a trial for Ford, coming as it did with a script he didn't like, a complex multi-corporation financial arrangement, and the death of his favorite stuntman on the set.
But the high point of the film is Wayne's performance and his confessional speech — it is a magnificent but little-acknowledged moment in a long and complex career.

 John Ford's The Horse Soldiers
The ideological divisions of the Civil War are examined in John Ford's The Horse Soldiers (1959).
The reflection of the patrol against the river is a reminder of the similar group of Union soldiers across the divide (physical and also metaphorical for the conflict).
Again Ford uses a shot-counter-shot of confederate soldiers and union soldiers to stress the similarities between the actions of both groups, and, although of a smaller scale, recalls the central battle scene in D. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915).

John Ford's only film to center around the Civil War, The Horse Soldiers overcomes a number of flaws to emerge as a solid, often exciting, movie that just misses being top-drawer Ford.
It has that distinctive Ford look, and William Clothier's cinematography is nothing short of stunning; several shots practically cry out to be framed and placed upon the wall, and the fluidity of the action sequences adds to the film's energy and drive.
Despite its flaws, Horse manages to be an engrossing and exciting horse opera.

In command is hardbitten Colonel Marlowe (Wayne), a man who is strikingly contrasted by the company's gentle surgeon (Holden) and the beautiful but crafty Southern belle (Constance Towers) who's forced to accompany the Union raiders on perhaps the most harrowing mission in the war.
THE HORSE SOLDIERS (1959) directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne this is their penultimate Western together, sandwiched neatly between the vastly superior THE SEARCHERS (1956) and THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (1962).
Nevertheless this is fine film, which returns once again to Ford's beloved US Cavalry that was depicted so wonderfully in the so-called Cavalry Trilogy some ten or so years earlier.

Loosely based on ACW Grierson's Raid and the novel "The Horse Soldiers" by Harold Sinclair (if interested try to get a copy of them, both the historical record and the novel are good on their own!).
I have always found this film much underrated, is a long favorite of mine (and probably has all the battle scenes missing in "Gone with the Wind"), Ford at his usual masterful direction.
