During the reign of the first rulers of the Piast dynasty mounted warriors used common small horses, similar to the tarpans. Such horses were very tough, did not require any special feed, and could easily move in forested areas that constituted the majority of Polish territory at the time. For the purposes of ducal guard, in particular of the greatest armoured sergeants, stronger and larger horses were bred that attained the height and weight of a modern Arabian horse. The first battle mentioned in historical records that was fought with the participation of armoured sergeants was the victorious battle of Mieszko I against the army of margrave Hodon by the Oder river near Cedynia in 972.
