courser
Fleet-footed mount
A courser is a swift horse, especially one bred for running or used in battle—the word shares a root with course and carries connotations of speed and pursuit.
The term is literary and archaic: The knight mounted his courser.
Separately, a courser is a type of long-legged bird related to the pratincole, found in arid regions of Africa and Asia.
