Medieval warhorses were specially bred and trained for use in battle. These horses played a crucial role in medieval warfare, carrying knights into combat and enduring the chaos of the battlefield. Warhorses were selected for their strength, agility, and temperament, as they needed to be both powerful and manageable under extreme conditions. The leather mask was a common piece of horse armor designed to protect the horse’s face from weapons and other hazards.
The use of armor on warhorses was essential for their protection. The leather mask shielded the horse’s head, while other pieces of armor, such as crinets and peytrals, protected the neck and chest. These armor pieces were often made from leather, iron, or a combination of materials, providing a balance between protection and mobility. The leather mask horse figure captures these protective elements, showcasing the detailed craftsmanship of medieval armor.
