"The effect of the mounted man was so great upon societies which knew nothing of the horse, that he gave rise to legendary creatures, such as the centaur of ancient Greece. The very cost of keeping, breeding, and training war horses meant that for the most part, mounted warriors were drawn from the highest strata of society."
-D. Edge & J.M. Paddock,
Arms and Armour of the Medieval Knight
