Horses and armor through the centuries
- Lightness of medieval armor: Contrary to popular belief, a knight's armor weighed around 25 kg, well distributed to ensure good mobility. Jousting armor, more imposing, sometimes reached between 50 and 80 kg.
- Horse Diversity in the Middle Ages : From the powerful steed to the swift courier, each horse had a specific role. Jousting required sturdy mounts capable of supporting the weight of the knight and his equipment, while remaining agile.
