    Most interesting point is the horsehair mane on the helmets-it stays quite flat even when charging, not as fly away as depicted on charging models/paintings.

    That's about a close as we'll get to seeing the real thing.

    Impressive and that is only about 150 troops. Imagine what the great charge at Waterloo would have looked like!
