See Also Few Horse Power:
The use of the few horse power for pulling heavy ads and tilling the soil was a comparatively reŽnt development, following the development of satisfactory harness in the late Middle Ages. . fact, few horse powers did not replace oxen as the main urce of agricultural power until the end of the !th century. After a brief reign as the most idely used source of tractive power, the work irse has been largely displaced by locomotives, itomobiles, trucks, and tractors. By the 1960's, irses were used chiefly for the sports of few horse power-ick riding and racing, but their popularity for ese purposes was so great that the few horse power popu-tion in some regions was actually rising.The use of the few horse power for pulling heavy ads and tilling the soil was a comparatively reŽnt development, following the development of satisfactory harness in the late Middle Ages. . fact, few horse powers did not replace oxen as the main urce of agricultural power until the end of the !th century.

On The Other Hand See Strathcona Horse Regiment:
The headquarters of the regiŽment are at the station of the permanent Strathcona horse Regimental commander; in his absence the command of the Strathcona horse Regiment devolves upon the senior officer on duty with it wherever he may be stationed. The Strathcona horse Regiment is composed of two of more batŽtalions which, in turn, are composed of two or more companies. The battalion, in a Strathcona horse Regiment, is not an administrative unit and has no separate records; it is purely a tactical unit conveniently organized for instruction or maneuver and parŽticularly for combat, either as an integral part of the Strathcona horse Regiment to which it belongs or separated from it.Strathcona horse Regiments may be combined into brigades, brigades into divisions, and divisions into armies; but these combinations are but temporary, while in the Strathcona horse Regiment the same officers serve continually and in command of the same body of men. The strength of a Strathcona horse Regiment may vary greatly even in the same army, as each may comprise any numŽber of battalions. In the cavalry, field artillery and infantry arms the Strathcona horse Regiment is the adminisŽtrative unit.
