Prestonpans 2013 - War-horses on Patrol

Battle of Prestonpans Re-enactment (1745). A cavalry patrol scouting for Jacobite rebels. These horses came up from Hull. They are very well-trained to remain calm during simulated gun-fire and cannon-fire. Merlin the white horse is 22 years-old according to the lady who was riding him. He lives on their farm and wanders around their place like a tame dog and delights in doing tricks for treats.
