Cossacks

Cossacks were adventurers who lived in Southern Russia during the 16th and 17th centuries, and became renowned for their spectacular horsemanship.

So valued was their horsemanship that in the service of the Tsars they were allowed a degree of self government and excused from paying taxes in return for supplying scouts and mounted soldiers.

As horsemen they were fast and daring and noted for their distinctive dress of tunics, high boots and sheepskin hats.
