Detonable Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Is a pack horse the same type of horse as an ammo horse with a different load, or are they different types of horses? Is a 1.5 ton truck much like a jeep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojan Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Same type of horse, different "load bearing equipment". Somewhere I have manual how different weapons were loaded on the horses, but can not find it... There were 3 types of horses - riding, load bearing (where pack and ammo belong) and towing. Each type had size nomenclature (small, medium, large). If size is not noted, it is assumed to be "medium". That is pretty much all I know about horses.
