The second episode of this four part series sees Copenhagen becoming a warhorse, and Marengo setting out into the vast Russian Steppe as he carries Napoleon at the head of his vast army towards Moscow.

As uncertainty and conflict beset the pair, it puts strains on their new relationship, especially when Copenhagen begins to explore his physical side with quite a lot of other horses, and things begin to go less well for the French army and its horses as winter sets in.
