Medieval Horses !
by Betsy
In the medieval times horses were highly trained. They used ponies,mules,donkeys and horses in battles.
They used smooth gaited horses [which means that they walk different from others.] called Palfreys. They were
used in war or tournaments. Another breed that was used was Destriers. The medieval people also used well bred and highly trained Destriers. They were used as war or tournament horses.
Horses were very, very expensive in those days. Did you know that some horses still wear armour today?
