Sergeant Major Peter Robinson: The American Cowboy Turned British Horse Breaker in the First World War This evocative photograph captures Sergeant Major Peter Robinson, an extraordinary figure in the annals of military and equine history. Born in the United States, Robinson was a seasoned cowboy who, upon emigrating to England, found himself in an unexpected role during the First World War: breaking in army horses in the southern English countryside. The image shows Robinson mounted on a spirited horse, his hat tilted back, revealing a determined expression. His hands, calloused from years of working with animals, gently guide the horse's head, demonstrating the trust and connection he has forged between them. The horse, in turn, seems to respond to Robinson's calm demeanor, its ears pricked forward in attention. The year is 1916, and the First World War rages on in Europe. The British Army, in need of mounts for its cavalry, turned to experienced horsemen like Robinson to prepare the animals for service. This unique role allowed Robinson to combine his skills as a cowboy with his newfound duty to the British military. As the sun sets on the English countryside, Robinson continues his work, breaking in another horse. The scene is a testament to the enduring bond between man and animal, a connection that transcends borders and circumstances. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human stories that often go untold in the annals of history.
