I noted that the mare of a friend of mine, who was a renactor of the Dutch Red Lancers, completely changed in body-language once she had been given her huge Napeleonic saddle and equipment. She usually looks docile (which she isn't, she is rather agressive, so she really enjoyed reenactment), but when in Napoleonic attire and carrying her lancer, she curved her neck, picked up her legs and trotted around like she owned the place.
