#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 #medievalwarfare #ageofknights #battlefield ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Battle-Merchant: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/ Battle-Merchant Blog: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/ Blog post for this episode: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/how-medieval-knights-and-their-horses-fought-as-a-team-on-the-battlefield TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battlemerchant Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battlemerchant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battlemerchant Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.de/battlemerchant/
