More than a tradition, an attachment! The use of horses in the army dates back to antiquity. They are appreciated for their qualities: power, endurance, speed and bravery. This by different army corps: cavalry, artillery, transport, military police… . They are still present today in 3 train columns of the Swiss army. They ensure, in all weathers, work and transport in regions and places that are not exploitable or reachable by land or air vehicles. They are trained to tolerate shooting with different weapons, therefore they also carry out more "military" tasks of security of the populations.
