Medieval saddles had high pommels (the part in front) and high cantles (the part in back) which helped keep the rider on when using a lance. The use of the stirrup also allowed riders to more effectively use a longer, heavier lance since they could brace against the impact. Earlier warriors, while they had saddles with pommels and cantles which wrapped around their thighs, did not have stirrups so used a much lighter lance.

A jousting knight typically used heavy armor, including a full suit of plate armor, a helmet with visor, and gauntlets. They also used a lance for jousting, which was a long, heavy spear designed for the sport. Additionally, they may have worn a specialized saddle and horse armor for protection.

∙ 9y agoIt is lances that are used in jousting but also they ride on horseback to charge at the enemy/opponent and hit him so hard that it knocks him off his horse and falls back first to the ground, which can injure the shoulder & back. Lances are weapons that are really long and have a point and a little hand at the back of it.

What kind of armor and equipment did a knight use?
"Among the earliest metallic armor to be worn by medieval knights was chainmail armor, consisting of tens of thousands of interlocking rings woven painstakingly by hand to form a shirt, coif, or leggings. Because of the mild steel produced in medieval times each ring had to be riveted to keep all the rings from spreading and opening under the weight of the piece. Underneath the metal armor the knight would wear a padded garment known variously as an "aketon," or "gambeson." To this defensive equipment he added a shield, usually made of leather-covered wood, and a helmet. As the medieval arms race progressed and new, more powerful weapons were developed (such as the longbow and crossbow), chainmail became ineffective on its own." "Late in the Middle Ages plate armor began to appear (ca. late 13th/early 14th century), first as reinforcements to vital areas such as the chest and shoulders, and finally as a complete suit (ca. early 15th century). The medieval "knight in shining armor" that most people think of is the fully plate-armored knight. Chainmail armor was now relegated to protecting smaller vital areas that could not be covered with plate armor, such as the groin and under the arms. The shield became smaller, or disappeared altogether as it became unnecessary and redundant."
