Abstract:	Elizabeth I was not one of the more famous horsewomen of the sixteenth century, but she appointed as her Master of the Horse a man who encouraged her to hunt and travel. Like most of the other departments of the Elizabethan court, only fragments the archives of the Stables survive, making reconstruction difficult. Like the other departments too, its institutional structure was an inheritance from Henry VIII, who created a self-sustaining system of stables and stud-farms and left a battery of legislation over export and horse-breeding. Leicester effectively made the Henrician system work, formalising the funding in the ‘Great Warrant’ of 1570, and seeking the advice of Italian experts. The Stables appears to have been efficiently run, with little of the internal feuding found in so many other Elizabethan institutions.
