Query - East India Company punishment?

edit

The St. Helena Records, particularly related to the East India Company period[1], make many references to soldiers being made to "ride the wooden horse". This punishment is never explained. Can anyone provide any further information? John Turner, Burgh House (talk) 09:44, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

This article is categorised under 'medieval implements of torture', but does not present any evidence of its medieval use. I will leave the category as is for now, but someone with greater specialist knowledge should check this categorisation and and correct it if necessary. 92.12.100.239 (talk) 19:52, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
