Freyfaxi --

I got what you meant, and based on what I've seen of Frisians, I can see the "destrier" in the breed. But of course the real destrier is long gone, just like the real Molosian hounds and the vicious looking coursing hounds in Medieval tapestries. I am looking for a horse for a variety of early Medieval settings -- nothing after 1200 AD. Interesting your selecting the Charger for early Medieval. The art horse that looks most like it, I think, is the Hawkwood mount, dating from the 1400's (Hawkwood). What I'm looking for is something closer to da Vinci's Sforza horse. Once again the HH fits the bill, except for the weird proportions of front to back.
