Husaria Cavalry Overture

The Husaria Cavalry, often referred to as "The Winged Cavalry," was the pride and glory of the Polish military from 1550 to 1683. They were an elite fighting force earning one third more salary than the other enlisted men. They were offered political offices, titles, many privileges, and even land after six years of service. Many of the sons of the highest born nobility were enlisted in the Husaria as well. Only those who demonstrated great fighting and equestrian skills were accepted. Husaria Cavalry Overture is a tribute to these gallant men and their horses! J.G.
