mounted knight
Horse-riding warrior
A mounted knight is a knight fighting or traveling on horseback, as opposed to one on foot.
The image of armored cavalry charging with lances became the iconic representation of medieval warfare: The mounted knights thundered across the field.
In chess, the knight piece depicts a horse's head, evoking this mounted warrior.
