  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You need three things to become a brave and noble knight: &lt;br&gt;A warhorse. &lt;br&gt;A fair maiden. &lt;br&gt;A just cause.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Will has a horse&amp;#8212;a small chestnut stallion with a white blaze in his brow.

The Knights of England must go to the Holy Land to fight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Will and Gavin will go. Blood will be shed. Lives will be taken. But through it all, two things will be constant&amp;#8212;Ellie, and a blood-red horse called Hosanna. . . .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

The story and action were mainly glossed over, saving the most time and attention for displaying the static perfection of Will and his horse, Hosanna.
