#medieval #knight #warhorse In this fascinating episode, Hendrik
and Carmen show you how medieval knights and their warhorses
became an inseparable combat unit. Dive into the world of
years-long horse training, where prey animals learned to gallop
right into the thick of battle. From the precious destrier to the
agile courser – learn everything about the different warhorses,
their special characteristics, and the intensive training that
took two to four years. We discuss the sophisticated mounted
combat techniques, from the famous couched lance technique to the
fascinating murder-stroke. Particularly touching: the emotional
bond between knight and horse that went far beyond a mere
practical relationship and often grew over years. Enjoy, and see
you next time! #destrier #courser #combattechnique #horsetraining
