[Sca-cooks] Horse Breeding OT But!... I know someone will

[Susanne Mayer]

Hello all my harddisk crashed so I hav a huge backlog but this i could not 
resist,....

btw Ann Hyland has written a couple of books that are quite extensive on 
this topic:

The Medieval Warhorse and the The Warhorse 1250-1600.

as to the fresian horses: originally it was a carriage horse and not a breed 
ridden much.
One of the most probable breeds for a norman kinght would be the ancestors 
of the percheron

ex-trotter)

A happy new year to all of you
