Cavalry was still a working part of the U.S. Army in the 1910s, and this photograph catches troopers at a full gallop, a moment the eye could not reliably read at the time. Images of horses in motion were prized in those years because they tested what photography could actually show: the caption card, though unverified, frames the scene as a study of the running horse itself. The period sits just before the Army's mounted units were transformed by motorized transport and the First World War, which makes such pictures a useful record of the horsemanship and equipment of the old cavalry.
