The British Army has decided to assess how useful horses could be in modern military conditions.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the trials took place at the Longmoor training area in Hampshire. The military practiced mounted reconnaissance, movement across difficult terrain, camouflage, supply operations, and animal care.

The British Army believes that horses could prove useful where heavy equipment is unable to move effectively—for example, in dense forests and marshy terrain.
