The Canadian Army Manitoba Horse Cap Badge represents the insignia worn by members of the Manitoba Horse, a cavalry regiment established in 1912 within the Canadian Militia. The unit, based in Manitoba, participated in domestic duties and contributed personnel during the First World War. This cap badge typically features a crown above the regimental title scroll and incorporates symbolic elements such as a horse’s head, reflecting the regiment’s mounted heritage. Crafted from brass or similar metals, this badge would have been affixed to the service dress headdress as part of the standard uniform. The Manitoba Horse merged with other units in 1936 as part of a broader reorganization of Canada’s militia forces, making original insignia from this regiment of historical significance. This badge serves as a tangible artifact from early 20th-century Canadian military history and offers insight into the identification and traditions of Canada’s mounted regiments during that period.
