Hello everyone!

I would like to do some effectiveness testing from horseback. There are a great deal of videos floating around of test cutting, but I have not seen any where the cut is done from horseback.
What I hypothesize is that delivering a cut while on a cantering horse will make the cut more effective. But what is the best way to test that hypothesis? What material would be best to cut at? How can I demonstrate that a cut from horse is more effective against a number of potential tests mediums then a cut standing on the ground?

Any feedback on these questions would be a great help! Thanks!

An attack from horseback will be way more effective than one delivered from foot. Just think of when somebody runs into you. Mythbusters tested this effect with arrow, you can go to youtube and type in mythbusters, car, arrow, and find it. Also the primary sources from the time make this clear. If you are still checking this thread, ask and I will post them.
