    Okay. Horses were used to move men and equipment. How is that related to my original point?

    Dragoons are cavalry. That’s how.

    Yes, it’s obvious they wouldn’t use lancers. Even in WWI cavalry charges are a thing of post-war (Soviet, Polish, maybe others’) propaganda much more than of actual use.
