Master of the Horse


 

The Master of the Horse was (and in some cases, is) a historical position of varying importance in several European nations.

The German Master of the Horse

In Germany the master of the horse (Oberststallmeister) was a high court dignitary; but his office was merely titular, the superintendence of the Emperor's stables having been carried out by the Oberstallmeister, an official corresponding to the crown equerry in England.
