Re: EBUFU Cavalry Events?

Sounds to me that we had better start planning somthing now and so it does not interfere with bummers. I agree with tom we chased a reb from fiddlers green to almost welborn plantaion and hardley saw an eye sore or maybe that we were going so fast that I didn't pay attention.

Ethan,
That chase was the best! I was not sure that my horse was going to stay up right going around some of those corners .

Hey Ken, interestingly enough, no one has contacted me about the opportunity you referenced early on in this thread. :(
Maybe they are talking to Tommy...

I don't think that I would make it all the way out east. I would meet half way.

Patrick,

Guilty as charged on not emailing...just haven't got there yet, not that I'm not interested. I will say that the info in previous posts was kinda vague, not super enticing to wet our appetities:tounge_sm

Take care,

Chris ,
Dan Chelmar goes through your area (I think ) when he come out of Wisconsin. He might like to have some one to share a ride with .He met me in Tennessee and then we finished go to VA and back.Then you might could rent a horse ? Unison was the best event last year for me. It is a long time between now and then.

Tom,

I believe folks have been intentionally vague because much of the information on Bummers is still "gellin". Still, I suggest you and everyone contact Patrick Peterson csabugler@bellsouth.net. and stay tuned....more information is coming. Best,

Re: EBUFU Cavalry Events?

why do they not want any cavalry at the piney woods event . i thought cavalry was authentic to use with infantry. the land between the lakes recreation area has nearly unlimited areas to have a real campaign. time in the saddle seeking the enemy is what iprefer doing .i would like to have three full days active action which does not mean you have to be burning powder all the time ronnie tucker 7th tn cav

Ronnie:

Check with Larry Morgan of the Butermilks. There will be a mounted unit at IPW.

Re: EBUFU Cavalry Events?

This part of the problem as I see it. Chris you say that there will be cavalry allowed at the event, yet the event web site provides zero information about mounted participation. Why all of the secrecy? Is it an invitation only type deal? With the authentic cav scattered across the country, this cant be. The guys putting on that event dont know me and cant say anything about my impression or knowledge. Likewise, I cant speak for many other folks from other parts of the country either. Does cav participation at high quality events revert back to a ya got to know someone to get in basis?

I dont know how to break the paradigm, Lord knows I've tried.

Re: EBUFU Cavalry Events?

Larry Morgan is the cavalry point of contact for Into the Piney Woods. He posted on this thread that anyone interested should contact him. If you are interested, it is simple. Contact Larry.

Re: EBUFU Cavalry Events?

thanks for piney woods info . i hope my land between the lakes suggestion deserves some thoughts from some more hard riding cavalrymen ronnie tucker 7th tn

Re: EBUFU Cavalry Events?

Ken,

Just a thought. Has there ever been any thought of still having the Cavalry Congress brought up again? I know there had been much interest and excitement when it was first brought up and much diappointment when it was cancelled. It always looked like a way to get more cohessiveness in this portion of the"hobby".

I have nothing to do with the cav at this event. I am still working on the logistics of getting my horse and myself down there. There has been talk of the cavalry on the IPW site board.

Chris

Marmaduke's Raid would have been a good cav event if I was not the only mounted confederate.
