Hi OP, could you specify which culture/country/region and war or general time period you're asking about? That information would greatly assist anyone considering answering here. Thanks
If I can step in to make it more specific since this intrigues me. I've read about how the Germans had more horses in the army than vehicles during ww2 How did they handle the logistics of feeding and taking care of all those horses especially during the mobility of the blitzkrieg?
