Civil War Cavalry: Folding the Saddle Blanket

[@dreaming-of-spots6805]

Just ordered a McClellan saddle, already have a wool blanket (I wear it as a cloak for old norse/similar costuming), thanks for the lesson on how to fold it properly!

Man... I don't want to reenact Civil War, but those clips are so interesting I keep on watching :) Greetings from Poland! I rode McLellan while training horseback archery and just wanted to learn amore before buying myself such saddle. Now I want to get all the gear and go for a few days trails to see how it really works :)

Thanks for another great video!

Sir, thanks for your research and videos. I’m new to reenacting and the work you’ve done saves a ton of time for us. Your work will also make it easier for other people to get into this great hobby. One question for y’all with experience....how do you clean the saddle blanket? The tag says dry clean only....I prefer to not risk getting those chemicals on my horse. Thanks again and have a great day.

Hi. Is that blanlet the Woolrich Cavalry blanket? If so, how do you enjoy it? Is it good for sleeping outside without a fire? is it fairly windproof?

[@11thovc]

Joey, Yes the one we are using in this video is the standard blue Woolrich blue cavalry blanket. It is nothing like the originals but is honestly the closest we have available right now. I use this one to sleep on while I use my issued army blanket to sleep under.
