Three riders of the U.S. Army cavalry are caught mid-leap over a barrier, the horses' forelegs tucked and hindquarters lifted clear of the obstacle. Jumping drills like this were a standard part of mounted training in the 1910s, when the cavalry still relied on horses for scouting, patrol and remount work, and riders were expected to clear fences and hurdles at speed while keeping their seats. The record dates the print only to the 191- decade, so the exact occasion is unknown, but the picture captures a discipline that shaped the rider-and-horse partnership before motorized vehicles took over most of the Army's mounted roles.
