I don\\\'t think the image used here is really the best for representing the trope. Yes, it depicts actual cavalry, but (to quote the trope page itself): \\\"This and other related tropes are named for the classic Western trope of the US cavalry charging over the brow of the hill just in time to save the beleaguered settlers from the Indians in far too many Westerns to count.\\\" So really, the image should something along those lines, of cavalry obviously bringing reinforcements to a besieged or an outnumbered group. If we want to stay away from cowboys and indians, I would suggest perhaps the charge of the Rohirrim at Helm\\\'s Deep from The Two Towers.

Edit: just noticed that the image is a drawing of that battle. I guess it\\\'s just not a great one then, since it didn\\\'t immediately invoke the trope in my mind. Maybe there\\\'s a better depiction?
