Spahi

Okay kiddo, so do you know what a horse is? Of course you do! Great, so back in the olden days, in some countries, there were special soldiers who rode these horses really well, and they were called Spahi.

These soldiers were from a place called Ottoman Empire, which is like a big group of countries ruled by one king. The Spahi were important because they helped protect the king's land and people from bad guys who tried to invade.

Now, the cool thing about the Spahi is how they dress and decorate their horses. They wear special uniforms that are really colorful and have lots of shiny things on them, like gold or silver. They also put pretty designs on their horses’ saddles, and it all looks really fancy!

So there you have it, Spahi is a special type of soldier who rides horses and protects the king's land. They are really good at horse riding and wear really pretty clothes and decorations.
