Courser (horse)

A courser is a swift and strong horse, frequently used during the Middle Ages as a warhorse. It was ridden by knights and men-at-arms.
Coursers are commonly believed to be named for their running gait,〔Oakeshott, Ewart. ''A Knight and his Horse'', Rev. 2nd Ed. USA:Dufour Editions, 1998〕 (from Old French ''cours'', 'to run'〔''Oxford English Dictionary'', 10th Ed, 1999〕). However, the word possibly derived from the Italian ''corsiero'', meaning 'battle horse'.〔Hyland, Ann. ''The Warhorse 1250-1600'', UK: Sutton Publishing, 1998〕
==Coursers in warfare==
The courser was more common than the destrier,〔Prestwich, Michael. ''Armies and Warfare in the Middle Ages: The English Experience'', New Haven: Yale University Press, 1996,〕 and preferred for hard battle as they were light, fast and strong.〔 They were valuable horses, but less expensive than the highly prized destrier.〔Gravett, Christopher. ''English Medieval Knight 1300-1400'', Oxford: Osprey Publishing, 2002, p 59〕 Another horse commonly ridden during war was the rouncey, which was an all-purpose horse.
