About Me
- Adam Lid
- S. California/Arizona, United States
- I've always had a life-long interest in history and literature and I've decided to create a blog to share some of those interests. I have an MA in history with specializations in military history and the American West. I also have had a life-long interest in horses and when I'm not working or writing, I'm out riding my horse and seeing what sorts of adventures we can get into.

The noblest companions are all bay or sorrel, how odd! I wouldn't expect to see a grey or a paint, but I'm surprised there's not a black on there.
I suspect the artist was taking some license here. The Army pretty much used horses in any color so long as they met the basic conformation standard. I've spoken to veterans who had served in the cavalry during the 1930s and each one told me that the Army pretty much took anything Although the bays tended to dominate.
I wonder if it was a lithographical choice then? (Is that even a word?) Maybe the brown horses didn't fade as quickly or fade to strange unnatural colors.
