He liked horses because he liked fast movement, and his mounted men could get from here to there much faster than any infantry could; but when they reached the field they usually tied their horses to trees and fought on foot, and they were as good as the very best infantry.

You'll have to see the movie to see what I mean. The movie also reinforces that you can be the author of your own script.
