Apart from the riding horses of the cavalry detachment and officers, a large number of draught horses belonged to the artillery and military engineers for ensuring supplies. In case of emergency or when large-scale transport was necessary, contracts were signed with private haulage companies. The mill in the Cavalier Camus alone, which made enough flour daily for 1,500 portions of bread, required 24 horses to operate. Horsed units of artillery were ready for the rapid reinforcement of endangered fortress sections or to support a breakout. In 1859, Luxembourg had eight horse guns with 38 horses. There was also a need for additional horses to transport ammunition, as well as for riding and as reserves.
