Barossa Light Horse Association
Barossa Light Horse Association is a historical reenactment light horse troop, and the only remaining one in South Australia.〔 "A public celebration of the Battle of Gaza-Beersheba on Saturday, November 1, will include a Light Horse re-enactment in Elder Park by Barossa Light Horse, supported by Artillery."〕
However, there are many other such groups throughout Australia, many of whom are affiliated with the Australian Light Horse Association (). To maintain an accurate portrayal of the light horsemen, the troop only has male riding members over the age of 18 years. Similarly, the authenticity of the uniform and equipment is of paramount importance. During the year the troop participates in memorial and special event parades. Troopers also attend memorial services and dedications at schools, speaking to students about the role of the light horsemen in the war. Each trooper is required to supply uniform, equipment and horse. Depending on the availability, the uniform and equipment could cost up to $2000.
Reproduction suppliers, both national and international, now make the search for uniform and equipment much quicker and easier. A monthly training day ensures a proficient standard of drill and horsemanship is maintained. The troop trains in the drill and procedures of the period and, while in the public eye, the troopers are expected to conform to military protocols and carry themselves with military bearing.
==History==
During the First World War, light horse units were raised in each state, with the 3rd and 9th regiments coming from South Australia. Light horsemen served in Palestine on the Western Front, and in Mesopotamia (now Iraq). They also went to Gallipoli, but without their horses. Light horse units were classified as mounted infantry and, as such, were armed as infantry with rifle and bayonet. Horses were their transport that allowed them to move rapidly around the battlefield. Troopers would ride to the battle with their horses loaded with food, water, ammunition and any personal effects strapped to horse or saddle. Once at the battle, the troopers would dismount to fight on foot. The light horse also conducted scouting and reconnaissance activities.
