We have great news for you!


Dear Friends,

we made a necessary complement to the ambulance – a Pair of Horses, which will quickly deliver the wounded to the field hospital.
The plan was: two-wheeled light carriages drawn by horses are following the advancing troops, and a specially trained paramedic staff lifts and puts wounded soldiers into the carts to immediately take them to the field hospital. This system was first tested at the Battle of Limburg and well-proven. Healthy soldiers were no longer obliged to drag their wounded comrades, being unable to focus on fighting. Moreover, the speed of delivery of the wounded to the operating table was crucial.

This is a great invention by a French surgeon named Dominique Jean Larrey.

In case you would like to harness the horses to any of our carriages, we will be glad to make it absolutely free of charge, after you will tell us about your preferences!
