I thought it meant horse too.. hence chavalier or cavalier....

It's the sight of that honed torso, rippling thigh muscles, mane wafting in the breeze, head held high and nostrils flaring with the sheer joy of running, the exhiliration of being alive....    It just needs that music (Galloping Home, recorded by the Simon Park Orchestra IFRC) to make it complete.

The horse is just a horse. Never have liked the beasts.
