HorsePower is a military museum on the ground floor of a barracks building in Winchester, dedicated to the cavalry regiments whose lineage runs to the King's Royal Hussars. Displays cover several centuries of campaigns, from the Peninsular War and the Charge of the Light Brigade through the two World Wars and later operations. Exhibits include uniforms, medals, weapons, military models, equipment and armoured vehicles, and a replica dugout gives a sense of First World War trench conditions. The museum is compact, so a visit suits children with an interest in history, horses or vehicles, and it sits within the Peninsula Barracks site alongside other military museums. Admission is modest, with reduced prices for children and a family ticket, and the museum offers a free parking area close to the entrance.
