Summary: The Medieval Warhorse: Origin, Development and Redevelopment
Comment: While some of Davies information is accurate, and his facts are interesting (for example Richard I capturing 200 horses from a battle, most of them wearing armor), his theory and discussion of the "great horse" and size does not hold water. He mentions that the warhorse grew up to 18 hands, and has no good facts to back this up, and there has been research since to prove his theories wrong. Definately worth the read, but must be taken with a few grains (or shaker) of salt.

Summary: Details the evolution of the Medieval Warhorse
Comment: According to THE MEDIEVAL WARHORSE, there was no set horse type through the entire period. Instead, type was chosen based on the weapons/armor used at the time. Thus, as armor grew heavier, warhorses grew bigger. In addition to tracing this evolution, this book includes information on knights' training, period veterinary medicine, and important trainers of the period. A detailed notes section allows the reader to do further research as desired.
