the manege, is said of a horse, when in passing upon a walk or trot, his off fore-leg crosses or overlaps the near fore-leg every second motion.
French term, ordinarily signifying a Knight. The word is formed of the French cheval "horse," and the barbarous Latin cavallus.
It is used, in heraldry, to signify any cavalier or horseman armed at all points; by the Romans called cataphractus eques: now out of use, and only to be seen in coat-armour.
