South African Army forget to feed their horses

The posture and attitude of the Lt Col leaves a lit to be desired! Does not resemble a soldier one bit.

an absolute disgrace, typical of this pathetic circus of an army. i did my time from 1979 to 1981. alec laird and alfie little were stablemasters and mark sham was a farrier. carl de vos was also there. and paul garlicki. rule was horses first then men then officers. we had four full time vets . the horses lacked for nothing. lost a few up north in contacts but generally the horses were treated wonderfully.
