Medieval horses: What types of horse were used in medieval times?

"And here's my fourth horse, a unicorn...."

My word Ghost is a STALLION in all senses of the word. What a striking powerhouse. Gorgeous.

These videos are sorely underrated. I've seen many official BBC and PBS documentaries that weren't nearly this professional or well made. Keep up the great work!

"She is not particularly high-status, she is not a fancy colour, she doesn't have stylish breeding or anything like that, she doesn't come from an exotic place..." Dont you listen to that nasty man Bramble, you are an absolute queen ):

The way my jaw almost dropped when the shot of Ghost walking down the road came up. What an impressive stallion. He seems like a really sweet horse too.

That is one well behaved stallion. I've not had much exposure to intact animals; one was a 17.2 beast of a dressage horse and a perfect gentleman, the others were absolute nightmares. I really appreciate how well behaved he is

Being a city raised person I never got much experience with horses. But just looking into the eyes of these animals gives a feeling of..."yes, I can see why people can love horses".

"And this horse's name is Ghost..." "I beg your pardon, but my name is Shadowfax."

You can tell how much Jason loves and respects animals by how engaged he is with these horses. It's heartwarming!

The third one is the type of horse an elf king would ride.

Your love of the horse comes through! As far as I’m concerned it’s a large part of why these videos are so cool

I actually gasped out loud when he showed Ghost. What a gorgeous horse.

I used to foster horses amd train them so they are easier to be adopted. The one breed I fostered the most was Arabians. They are hot tempered and very intelligent so they outsmarted owners so they would get rid of them. I had a Friesian as a foster once and I immediately fell in love with his temperament but I didn't keep him because if I kept them all, I would run out of space to foster and help more. The Tennessee walkers also had amazing temperaments. But the one I did keep because of the bond we made was a sorrel Quarter horse. She was rescued from the Amish. She wouldn't let people near her but me. I worked with her for years to make her not afraid of everything. She would wait to see how I reacted to an object to know if she should be scared or not. She had complete trust in me and I had complete trust in her. The only other humans that could be completely safe around her was children. She had amazing patience with children and would follow them around a pasture all day long keeping other horses away from them. She lived the rest of her life with me. I got her as an older mare and I had her about 10years before old age got the best of her. I'm guessing she was around 30 yrs old when she passed. Me and my ex split up and he kept the land so I can no longer foster. I don't believe in boarding because if I have horses, I want to be the one handling them every day. Thank you for taking the time explaining horses to people. I wished everyone who had horses was educated about them and how to properly train them.

I love Bramble, she’s number one in my heart!

So many horse experts in the comments.... Cremello is extremely difficult to throw, I've been around horses my whole life and only seen one true cremello, beautiful boy. Really interesting video I would love a series on ancient horse history

Wow- I've never really noticed the crest on horses like it is so clear on him, but suddenly the little Black Stallion sculpture makes sense. The ridge on the neck of that little statue from the movie is the crest, not the mane. 💡

My gosh, Ghost is an absolutely beautiful horse! He looks like a living Michelangelo sculpture. Stunning!

I love Bramble I also have a Welsh pony and he's tough as hell and very adventurous. I got him 9 years ago to be a temporary friend to my other horse but could never let him go.
