| Summary: | In the course of tales, holymen’s lives, sermons, epics, letters, medieval authors let us catch a glimpse on the ways of making use of horses in everyday life : horsemen’s social prestige, economic restraints, problems of maintenance and pasture, training, dangers.

There are few notes about equestrian art : using spurs, and the importance of volts and pirouettes when fighting. But some notations show the affection and trust of the rider for his fellow. |
