The International Cavalry Association doesn't regard the victory and success of The Pursuit to Mons as an end but just part of its continual campaign to support volunteer cavalry worldwide. Besides the success of its Associations worldwide, including the recent and brilliant cavalry tests in Poznan,...

By now, history has told its own story. The Pursuit to Mons went down as an epic memorial event of the Great War. The largest mounted cavalry event covering the furthest of distances following the exact route of The Pursuit to Mons. As for the Gala Dinner held in the iconic Hotel de Ville in the cen...

Did you ever succeed in this quest or was it just a dream?

Here is a photograph of myself with the Squadron on the Pursuit to Mons 1918-2018 Thanksgiving ride, taken last month:

Piriiac, Thank you for your posts from Valencienne. We have completed this epic ride and if I dare quote my speech at the Gala Dinner held in the Gothic Hall in Mons: ' May I paraphrase Shakespeare, Men back home in England, will hold their manhood cheap, they were not with us this day of The Pursui...

What are you paying?

The numbers have been maintained and we go frim strength to strength with not a bicycle in sight

The Gala Dinner to give thanksgiving for the end of the Great War will be held in one of the most iconic buildings of this miserable war. The Town hall of Mons. You can be part of this thanksgiving, for 160 euros. Uniform or black tie.

We on the Pursuit are so excited in that thus far we are well over 100 riders taking part from across the world. This is supported by a ground crew who are really enthusiastic to support those in the saddle. One element which really is exciting is the large contingent of Canadians who have signed up...

Hello Pete

I can see you are new to this forum.

If you (us) want me to give all of you a breakdown of the costs of the 300 Euros, I am happy to do so. Just ask Andy for my email address lol

This iconic building was at the beginning and saw the end of the Great War. The entertainment will be ...

Here is a post, just, on this date, put up on the Event's site: THOSE WHO WISH TO BE PART OF THE PURSUIT BUT DO NOT WANT TO RIDE OR BE IN THE LOGISTICAL SUPPORT. We are more than happy for anyone, with an interest in the Great War and the Pursuit to Mons to avail themselves of the facilities offered...

Whilst those on horseback must be true horse'men' as they will have to be able to cover country at pace, hour after hour, we are always open to have support from the ground from those who are in period clothes (not an excuse for a civilian holiday). Cavalry in the saddle needs so much support from t...

Ofcourse!

This is an international THANKSGIVING to celebrate the end of the war which took so many lives of the people of Europe. The aim is to cove...
