And they were expected to provide their gear from that.  As for replacement warhorses, there were all sorts of arrangements depending on the country involved, but high officials of the King's court were often involved. Mostly there were arrangements so that horses lost or injured on campaign would be replaced from a pool of horses from the King's stables, while a knight losing one in other circumstances would often have to perform extra feudal service to have it replaced. Unless they were an excellent jouster, when they might be able to win one on the tournament circuit.</blockquote>
