i am going to be teaching a drill lesson and would like to get all my commands and terminology correct

Isn't something like "Ride. Prepare to trot - and trot on." Our Pony Club did a few years of musical rides and I expect that they originated from army displays, but it is so long ago I can't remember in detail.

The commands are sprinkled through the text, rather than being grouped into a list, but you should be able to find most of what you need to make your own glossary.

That's amazing, where did you find that!

I used the "cavalry drill commands" as a search term; that was the fifth hit, and first one I looked at.
