Saying that horses shaped the medieval world - and the way we see
it today - is hardly an exaggeration. Why else do we imagine a
medieval knight - or a nomadic warrior - on horseback? Why do we
use such metaphors as "unbridled" or "bearing a yoke" in our daily
language? Studies of medieval horses and horsemanship are
increasingly popular, but they often focus on a single aspect of
equestrianism or a single culture. In this book, you will find
information about both elite and humble working equines, about the
ideology and practicalities of medieval horsemanship across
different countries, from Iceland to China. Contributors are Gloria
Allaire, Luise Borek, Gail Brownrigg, Agnes Carayon, Gavina
Cherchi, John C. Ford, Lois Forster, Jurg Gassmann, Rebecca
Henderson, Anna-Lena Lange, Romain Lefebvre, Rena Maguire, Ana
Maria S. A. Rodrigues, and Alexia-Foteini Stamouli.
