A horse, especially a spirited one ridden into battle or presented in poetic or stately contexts.

The word appears chiefly in poetry, older narrative, and deliberately elevated or humorous modern writing rather than in everyday descriptions of horses. Its grandeur comes partly from long use in tales of knights and warriors riding into battle on a trusted steed.
