Why do knights ride horses?

Answer 1

Knights rode horses because they wore massive amounts of heavy, steel-plated armour. A horse, typically a heavy draft breed (mostly a breed called a clydsedale) was needed to carry the incredible weight of the armour. A horse could also be trained to fight in battle, making a good battlehorse a valuable assest to a knight.

Answer 2

In the days of medieval warfare, long before cars and trucks were invented, horses provided fast and efficient transport for knights. Horses also intimidated enemies with their sheer size and speed and provided knights with a higher, unobstructed view of the battlefield. In times of peace, owning a horse was also considered a status symbol, just as owning a sports car might be today--in medieval times, feeding and caring for a horse was costly.
