palfrey
A palfrey is a type of horse that was highly valued as a riding horse in the Middle Ages. It was a lighter-weight horse, usually a smooth gaited one that could amble, suitable for riding over long distances. Palfreys were not a specific breed. ==Etymology== The word "palfrey" is cognate with the German word for horse (of any type): "pferd". Both descend from Latin "paraveredus", meaning a post horse or courier horse. The German term for a palfrey, meanwhile, is ''Zelter'', which literally means "ambler" and is cognate with the Icelandic ''tölt''.
