The term originated in the 17th century for a military charger that had been through many battles. Until the 14th century the obligatory killing of the war horse was part of the funeral rites of the war lord, so that the horse could continue to serve its master in an afterlife. The Old War Horse was a three-dimensional horse head featured throughout the Horseplay series. Made out of iron.
