The Dreadful “Spanish Horse”

Spanish Horse Torture

Heretics and those accused of witchcraft, usually women, got to ride the “Spanish Horse.” Imagine a sawhorse with a sharply pointed triangle for its center bar. Then imagine being seated astride that beam with your legs either unable to touch the floor or tied down with weights. Ouch!
