Dec 12, 2016 at 19:37 comment added tuskiomi fun fact: if bears were the mobility factor for mounted troops, the units would be called ourslys (oor-sl-ees) instead of cavalry.

Mar 29, 2016 at 3:38 comment added azurefrog @Ronk They aren't, actually; they're in the Ursidae family. They do share the Caniformia suborder with the Canidae family, which is perhaps what you were thinking of, but so does a walrus, so calling them "canine" based on that is a bit of a stretch.
Mar 28, 2016 at 20:45 comment added Ronk @Thomas: but bears ARE of canine family, so I CAN see the relevance.
Mar 28, 2016 at 16:18 comment added mathgenius I would like to mention that using elephants as cavalry was anything but common. Only really sophisticated and complex societies were able to sustain War Elephants.
Mar 27, 2016 at 11:18 comment added Thomas Jacobs @Ewan Dogs are not bears, so that's irrelevant to the question at hand.
Mar 27, 2016 at 8:57 comment added Ewan This book has dog cavalry. I thought it worked quite well. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_series
