What is a knight's horse?
Typically, knights of the medieval era rode heavy horses described as destriers or chargers. These horses were often draft breeds, as the knights were often bearing up to 200 pounds of armor, and the horses exceeding 400 pounds in their own armor. Baroque style Friesians were often used, as well as Clydesdales and Shires.
How did the introduction of larger horses lead to use heavily armored knights?
One of the original limiting factors on the amount of armor a knight could wear was the weight his mount could carry. As warmbloods (draft horses crossed with Arabian-descent horses) were developed, knights got larger horses that could carry more weight and still be useful in battle, allowing for the knight to wear more armor.
