How to carry a sword on a horse

[ariel]

I guess they have enough time to do it. Swords are not drawn seconds before the contact with the opponent.
But... they hold their muskets in the right hand. Presumably, they discharge them before they draw their sword also with the right hand. So, where does the musket go after the discharge?

I experimented with 4 nimchas: can unequivocally confirm that drawing is about as comfortable as the traditional one. Additional advantage of it is that the sharp edge always points back, so cutting off horse’s ears is less likely ( a big problem with Cossack sabers, specifically mentioned by contemporaneous authors and by the official regulation books. Have no idea how the rest of the world manage to avoid it:-)))
