Apocalyptic stories, TV, times of chaos and reorganization - 13th century?

It occurs to me, ruminating as I'm watching some of the streaming that my husband likes to view, how many apocalyptic, make order out of chaos, reorganize society, Hunger Games, type of shows there are on now. Trendy YA literature copies Hunger Game themes, while more interesting ones like Chuck Wendig depict the future in yet another impressively different way in his Heartland Trilogy. The Vespers Trilogy depicts a real time and place where the reorganization of society is attempted yet again - politics, conquest, greed, all the usual components are in place. See, some things never change...

Medieval Warhorses - the Hispano-Arab

So I'm researching training medieval warhorses.  There's a lot of misinformation out there, like all medieval warhorses were 17-19 hands high and were something like Percherons or Clydesdales.   Actually, most warhorses were 14-15 hands high, at least in my century, the 13th century, and it's my understanding that the Hispano-Arab breed was most typical. 


These are beautiful horses and I'll post a picture of one on my next post - I even have permission to use his name (thanks Cody!!!) - so stay tuned - he's gorgeous.  I read several training manuals for present day horses (good grief!) - very complicated, won't be in Book #3, I assure you, but did watch a terrific show on Lippizan horses, and how they are bred and trained.  Very very interesting as many moves that a medieval warhorse is trained to do are similar to what the Lippizans do now. 


If anyone else knows more about training warhorses, I invite you to comment!!!
