===Cavalry drill=== Cavalry drill had the purpose of training cavalrymen and their horses to work together during a battle. It survives {{as of | 2015 | alt = to this day}}, albeit in a much-diminished form, in the modern sporting discipline of [[dressage]]. The movements sideways or at angles, the pirouettes, etc., were the movements needed for massed cavalrymen to form and reform and deploy. Of the proponents of [[classical dressage]] from which modern dressage evolved, probably the best known{{original research inline|date=January 2015}} are the Lipizzaner Stallions of the [[Spanish Riding School]] in Vienna. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police's [[Musical Ride]] gives an inkling of what massed cavalry drill at speed would have looked like.
