The Jennet (both modern and medieval) is known as a comfortable ride and it was great for riding distances and as a fast small cavalry and lancer horse. These horses were ridden with shorter stirrups legs tucked up “à la jineta” or Jennet.
The modern breeds that was most like the medieval breed are the modern Spanish Jennet and the Paso breeds, the Peruvian Paso and the Paso Fino.
