	A '''horse''' is a ~~semi-~~domesticated mammal used during pre-history as a source of transport and labour. If ~~needed~~ it ~~can~~ also ~~provide~~ [[milk]], [[meat]] and [[leather]].		A '''horse''' is a domesticated hooved mammal used during pre-history as a source of transport and labour. Primarily used as a beast of burden and mount, it has also been a source of [[milk]], [[meat]] and [[leather]].

	[[Farrier]]s, [[saddler]]s, [[leather]]-workers (reins, stirrups etc.) and riders work with horses. They are useful for [[knight]]s to ride (it enables them to out-run the [[peasant]]s easier). The catch is that, since the horse can carry their weight, the knights tend to wear heavier [[armour]], and then they (the horses) being vulnerable to good [[missile weapon\|missile]] fire, they (the knights) tend to find out why heavy clunky armour doesn't go well with fighting on rough terrain, against lightly-armoured, and therefore more manoeuvrable, opponents.

			Comes in three flavours: stallion, mare and gelding. Geldings are castrated male horses; the prodecure is considererd necessary to make sexually-mature stallions more docile and rideable. Young male horses are called colts, and young female horses are called fillies. Horses under one year of age are called foals, regardless of sex.
	Comes in two flavours: stallion and filly. There is also an 'off cut' of stallion called gelding. Don't ask (if you have to) you won't want to go there!

			In terms of the [[medieval]] life, there were several types of horses categorized by the jobs they were trained to do:
⚫	~~In terms of the [[medieval]] life, there were [[war]] horses, "ambling"~~ horses (which, in England, became known as ''"hackneys"'' (after the village and marshes east of [[London]] where a breeding line was established)~~, "working" horses (i.e. [[agriculture\|agricultural]] proto-tractors), and carrying horses which~~ were ~~the~~ ~~medieval equivalent of the~~ ~~commercial~~ ~~van~~.
			*'''[[War]] horses''' carried mounted fighters into battle. War horses are typically large and powerful in order to carry a fully-armored and armed human combatant. War horses are also trained to be combatants in their own right, often taught to rear, kick and bite opponents. The modern day Lippizaner Stallions still perform these combat maneuvers dubbed ''aires above the ground." [http://www.lipizzaner.com/airs.asp]

		⚫	*'''Ambling horses''' (which, in England, became known as ''"hackneys"'' after the village and marshes east of [[London]] where a breeding line was established) were used for light transportation.
⚫	''See also:''
			*'''Working horses''' (i.e. [[agriculture\|agricultural]] proto-tractors) used to pull wagons and ploughs.
⚫	* [[Equestrian\|Equestrian]] activities
			*'''Carrying horses''' which were the medieval equivalent of the commercial van.

	Horses are used in [[re-enactment]] in a number of capacities. Most commonly they are used as [[cavalry]] units on the battlefield such as re-enactments of the [[Battle of Hastings]], [[Battle of Bannockburn]] and various [[17th century]] battlefields such as [[Marston Moor]], [[Edgehill]] and [[Naseby]]. In this capacity they tend to fight other cavalry units as horses can become dangerous to [[soldier\|foot troops]]. They are also used in [[recreation]]s of [[joust]]s.
