		A destrier weighed twice as much as a conventional riding horse; and when the knight struck a conventionally mounted opponent, the impact could be devastating.
		The destrier was sometimes shod with sharp nail heads sticking out so that he could trample foot-soldiers in his path.
		The destrier was a very potent weapon, and yet his descendants are the mild mannered and docile work horses of today who put their strength to less brutal use.

	"Destrier" class heavy battle cruiser
		The first major setback to the Destrier program was the "outbreak of peace" brought by the Organian Peace Treaty in 2267, less than a year into the shakedown cruise of the Class vessel.
		By the time the Destrier's engines had been tuned to perfection, the refit Constitutions were routinely outpacing it, having benefited from data collected while sorting out the heavier ship's drives.
		The armaments of the Destrier were the heaviest ever mounted on a Federation vessel at that time, consisting of no less than ten phaser banks, supplemented by four photon torpedoes.

		Those that are trained to be Destriers (whether light or heavy horses) are capable of fighting on their own behalf as well as carrying their riders into battle.
		Strength is the primary ability for warhorses, and they rely on their physical prowess to carry heavy burdens (such as knights in armor) and to fight bravely despite the weight of barding, weapons, or the mire of the battlefield.
		The Destrier is the horse of battle but is not a comfortable mount for the "off duty" knight.

	Description of the Welsh Pony and Cob
		The origin of the Cob is well documented, beginning in Medieval times when the knight's combat horse or destrier was led from battle to battle by a squire mounted on a smaller horse called a rouncy.
		The destrier was a "great horse" along the lines of the Shire horse of today so the rouncy had to be a horse capable of trotting in step with a much larger animal.
		Additionally, should the destrier be injured in battle, the knight was likely to kick one of his squires off a rouncy and use the smaller horse to rejoin the fray.

	FireStryker Living History Forum : Recommendations for Horse Breeds?
		If you want a 'palfrey' (as in a horse of quality that a knight would have ridden for "show" on a more daily basis), then some sort of a gaited horse is a must.
		These types of bloodlines would be a good starting point for a destrier search, as the criteria of the Remount org was based on practical applications of what was needed in a warhorse, and that has not changed much over the centuries until recent times.
		A) Destriers are bred purely as warhorses, and were the primary warhorse up to (very approx) 1350, after which coursers became more common as war horses, while Destriers became increasingly specialised as horses for the joust.

		The destrier’s master remained impassively at its side, dark blue eyes on the trader.
