“The set includes a minifigure to ride the horse, King Richard, who comes with a silver sword, an oval shield with the Royal Knights emblem, and a gold crown. The set contains a white horse with printed brown reins. The horse can either be equipped with a red saddle, or not... More have a saddle, in which case two white bricks are used to fill the hole where the saddle is attached.”

“This is another small set from the royal knights subtheme, have the items to a king and his horse. It was a cheap option to have a king minifigure, but many don`t knows about that now and rate the set low. For a small set in comparison with others like the "Samurai... More Swordsman", this deserves a 5/5 rate.”
