"Spot The Deliberate Mistakes" Competition - caldrail - 02.10.2010

I hope Verhangnis forgives me for posting this, but this pic appeared in the Canvas Knights forum. There are six mistakes in this depiction of a medieval knight. Can the forum members guess what they are? Or do they know? Go on, impress everyone with your knowledge garnered from years of playing Dungeons and Dragons...

He's riding a pony
He's waving a red flag, not his Coat Of Arms
He's wearing leather shoes, not Plate Metal over them
He's not wearing Plate Metal Gauntlet or any Gauntlets for that matter of fact
He's wearing a Pig Face with feathers implying he is a General
He's a Painting done by Reeser in 2008

Do I win, and if so, WHAT :?:

Two incorrect answers but I won't penalise anyone for that. You scored four points. Well done. Can't nominate you as the winner yet but you're in pole position.

The horse is not trimmed, and he has a saddle

Forgot the can opener again (hence the brown stained saddle)

The 'Guard' for his neck is on the wrong side for jousting.
Should be on his combat side (Left).

@RadPig94 - One correct and one incorrect answer. A worthy one point.

@Catahoulak9 - Can openers are a thing of sorcerous device my friend. A work of dark powers and not fit for wholesome warriors to disrobe with. Use a servant like eveyone else please. Nil point.

@KG64_Cnopicilin - Your place of birth is sadly not a mistake, but an accident of fate, thus I cannot in all good concious bring forth points to add to your honour, save that I do not condemn nor pour scorn upon you, and reward you with a goodly sum of interesting grammar for your pleasure.

@{HVY-E}Jinxx - An excellent answer. One point for spotting this subtle error and revealing yourself to be a man knowledgeable in the finer art of Tourney.

Well that sums up the competition. Congratulations to Planemad for providing the most correct answers to this most prized of competition. I have no doubt he wonders what boon shall be awarded in victory. He has of course won the heart of the Lady Gertrude and her father offers his lands and title just as soon as our worthy winner completes his quest to free her from the evil dragon down the road.

Oh, no, hang on, I forgot one error. He who successfully nominates the awful gaffe correctly will receive the magic sword required to slay the foul beastie.

AFAIK they did use a saddle.

@KG64_Cnopicilin: Planemad already mentioned bare hands, but yes, that is an error, and I have no choice but to award you a point. Sadly the sword stays firmly in the stone. And yes, medieval horsemen did use saddles.

@RadPig94: As you might have guessed by now, it wasn't the saddle answer. Close, but no cigar.

Now I know what a gauntlet means

Re: "Spot The Deliberate Mistakes" Competition - {HVY-E}Jinxx - 04.10.2010

Horse is wrong.
Horses used by knights of that period were commonly referred to as 'War Horses'. They were of the Parisian, Clydesdale and other such large draft breeds. They were used so as to keep their riders high above the enemy during close combat and were typically 16.5 to 17 hands high.

Given the picture shown the horse's back would be at about chest height of the rider. A normal war horse would be much taller.
