Types of Horse
A brief outline of the type of work each horse would be expected to perform, and the average cost of that type of horse.
Destrier – these were well-bred, highly trained stallions. They were used in war, or sometimes for tournaments, as they were very strong, fast and agile for their great size. They were considered specialist mounts, and were both expensive and uncommon (The equivalent of the modern Dressage horse) (20-40 Pounds).
Palfrey – these were well-bred horses used for general riding, hunting and travelling in the upper-classes. They were occasionally used in warfare; similar to the Destrier, they could be very expensive (Also called Jennets, when used by Ladies) (10-20 Pounds).
