Good video, be interesting to know what happened to all the old cast iron camp ovens the Military would have used.

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

easy to answer cobber because everything, and I mean everything, went into much needed scrap for recycling ... so very much lost but most people just wanted to forget it all and have no reminders ..

Hey steve. This is why i love your channel. Over the short time i have known you. You have shown me and all of us how much you care about historical authenticity And your horses. If the people who watched that other video. And the person who made that other video. truly cared about historical authenticity and most importantly their own horses life and health. They would instantly pull that video and redo it. the right way. In this situation I don't think it's nitpicking. I see it as a hazard that could result in a horse's injury or even death. Its frustrating sometimes seeing the so-called experts because of there channel size. Have no idea what there talking about. And they grow fast and spread wrong information. Now the real experts will have to spend years just reversing the damage of just one so-called expert did. Cheers brother if you decide you want to leave a comment on that video let me know I'll back you up and leave a comment as well.

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

phew, love those words and sentiments cobber ... it really is a tough call to try to be constructive and not to be seen as a 'hater' .... appreciate your support ...

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

@@CodyandSteveDownUnder no problem. Years ago there was a youtuber that had a extremely large following. he did DIY projects. He did a DIY air conditioning using a ice cooler, a fan, and ice . He thought it was a great idea to use dry ice instead of regular ice. Thinking that it would be much colder and no water to deal with. What he didn't realize is dry ice being carbon dioxide if somebody made his air-conditioning and used it in a small room they could suffocate to death. Me this is a great example of how people could be hurt by taking the advice of somebody who really doesn't know what they're doing. And I think the best route to criticize this man's video. ensure him this is not an attack on him as a person. Just that he's video puts horses in danger. Cheers

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

@@snappers_antique_firearms what makes this worse is - dare I say it - the video was made by a young-ish woman ... I hate to say this but a man cannot put anything remotely critical even if it is constructive, on a horse woman's video, such a foolish man would unleash a sh.t storm of female backlash ... and even now I have said too much .....

Good on you Steve. Members of the LHR were soldiers of course but they were genuine and A-grade horsemen as well. It is only now that I wish I had asked my own grandfather, a member of the 9LHR more about his life and times in the Regiment. I understand his father (my great grandfather) was a Blacksmith, so am convinced that those of that era well and truly knew what they were about when it came to horses and horsemanship. Keep up the good work - it is all part of our heritage.

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

super words Peter, thanks for that .... my wife's father was a blacksmith in the Australian Army pre WWII before switching to infantry ... yes, they had to have a very special knowledge of horses ... cheers mate ... the 9th Light Horse, very special to us in SA mate ...

We can see that You & the Mrs are true equestrians with a fierce passion for animal welfare & the obscure bit of information about the horses eating their ropes is the kind of thing I love to learn about.

much appreciated cobber

[@VeronicaInVenice]

Wow ❤

[@VeniceBitheBeach]

ah, many aspects to this; the new age of instant criticism before thought - I understand your dilemma and frustration = a rock and a hard place I think. Plus there's a lot of jealousy out there too which helps not at all .... just do what you can do

Throwing shade! Tried to find the how to strangle your horse video but all i get is more Trooper Cody, so the 30k must be getting outweighed by the real tutorial

"Don't leave slack around the horses shoulders ", as he leaves slack. That's why you didn't get the 7 wraps. Btw, the nearside is the left side. The side that, traditionally, most people mount and unmount from. Do you know why?

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

@@rafterL78 most people are right handed so we mount from the left. Nearside. Stems from right handed troops merchants etc carrying swords on the left of body. Hope that makes sense. Very much appreciate the comment and input. Thank you. Cheers. 😎👍🐴🐴🐴🐴
