This book is a revised and updated version of a US army sponsored study by ex Wehrmacht officers of their experiences in the war. The book is one of a number of studies sponsored by Allied governments to capture the German army's lessons learned for possible future use as the Cold War intensified. It is believed to be the most exhaustive study on the use of horses during the War.
The early parts of the book deal with issues such as types of horses, training, remounts, veterinary and the employment of horses. The rest of the book covers actual operations and includes a fantastic set of photographs of horses on the battlefield.
If you are interested in the German army's use of horses and horse drawn vehicles this is a great place to start and is highly recommended.
