Why did horses wear armor in medieval armor?
Asked by Wiki User
The functional full suit of armor is an outer covering which helps in protecting against the external danger. So not only knights but also it is necessary for the horse, who is going on war, to wear some protection.
To protect them from injury, the same as the rider. When a horse and rider go charging into battle where others are swinging swords, axes, maces, and trying to skewer each other with lances, some blows are sure to land on the horse. From the rider's standpoint, knowing he's dead if he falls on the ground, it is better to keep one's horse alive and mobile, which means keeping him uninjured.

Asked by Wiki User
It depends entirely on where in Spain is being asked about and it varies from year to year as well. The best chances of finding a White Christmas in Spain would be in the Pyrenees Mountains in Navarra or in the Cantabrian Mountains in Asturias. In places south of Madrid, other than perhaps the Sierra Nevada, it is extremely unlikely that you will have a White Christmas.
