The term 'jennet' comes from the Spanish word 'genete,' which means 'horseman' or 'mounted soldier,' and has its roots in the Arabic word 'genฤ,' referring to a type of horse. This word made its way into Middle English in the late 14th century to describe a small horse, especially one that was careful and gentle in nature.

They played a significant role in various equestrian traditions and were prized across Europe for their beauty and temperament.
