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.
