Horses in warfare

This article has recently passed an A class review, since when it has undergone some alterations. We are hoping to put it up for FAC soon and would like any feedback on what else should be done to the article in preparation, with attention to content (any gaps? undue weight?), format and so forth.

Fantastic lead image - I believe the minimum lead image size is 350px. The coverage of cavalry tactics is a bit thin, perhaps a bit more coverage of this topic and a link to that article would help to give horses in warfare a bit of context. Dhatfield (talk) 04:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I've expanded the lead image a bit, but 350 px is huge, so I haven't expanded it that much! There is already a templated link to cavalry at the beginning of the cavalry section, as well as several other wikilinks to cavalry (as well as variations, including heavy cavalry and light cavalry) throughout the article.

• Nepal's King's Household Cavalry is a ceremonial unit - as Nepal is now a republic is this still the correct name for the unit?
  • As of June 2008, this is still the correct name. The source we use actually mentions this and says that although Nepal is now a republic, the Cavalry has not had to change it's name yet. Dana boomer (talk) 22:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
• I have a problem with the related modern uses section - I can not see where Law enforcement and public safety fits into an article on Horses in Warfare , mounted police and mounted s&r could be articles in their own right.
  • Actually, they do already have their own articles, at Mounted police and Mounted search and rescue. The brief section on Law enforcement and public safety fits into the article because it is a "related modern use" as the main heading states. Mounted police and s&r riders, with many of their tactics and training, have evolved from mounted warfare. Dana boomer (talk) 22:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
• Is there any infomation on Mounted Infantry that could be included alongside the Cavalry and Horse Artillery
  • We will look into our article's cross-linking with Dragoon. Montanabw^(talk) 21:38, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
