Amazing Animals

         What animals played apart in a knight's life?  Knights were also farmers when they weren't fighting.  So, cattle was very important to knights because they sold the cattle for money.  Earning money lead to buying new armor for when they went in battle.  Horses were also a major part of a knights life. 
         Horses bruoght them closer to their enemy and allowed them to escape in battle.  There were many types of horses, and one was the packhorse.  The packhorse was used to carry the knights baggage on their journey.  Another type of horse that was used was the riding horse, which lead the knight to the battle.  The last kind of horse was the warhorse, which was used to fight in battle.  Another animal that knights used was the mastiff.  A mastiff is a fierce dog that knights would use to gaurd their castle and the camp ground.
