15. Thoroughbred Knight. As the name suggests, this piece simply combines the (2,5)(3,5) move of the Thoroughbred (yesterday's piece) with the (1,2) move of the Knight (NAXCY).

This does make the piece more useful in a game than a plain old Thoroughbred. The Thoroughbred moves can get the piece to the action, and then the Knight's moves can be the main form of battle.

Admittedly, in terms of physical design, I may need to tweak this one a little to make the barding (at least, the eyeholes) a bit clearer, and possibly to give it some sort of distinction that's easily visible from behind.
