A grave has been found by Archeologists that contain mass complete skeletons of 51 horses. They were found side by side.


They are thought to come be victims of a 17th century battle that took place over a Dutch river. They were found near the Maas River in Borgharen.


There is evidence that show that these were cavalry horses and that they were French .
