Using horses as a historical lens, this study examines four components of ritualistic equestrianism in Tudor coronation ceremonies: the King’s Champion, the Gilded Spurs, the Master of the Horse, and the Horse of Honor.

More importantly, these four components underlined the importance of horses and horsemanship to the Crown.
