What is "ringstraked"

Usage examples of "ringstraked".

Now and again this King, whose name does not matter, would mount a ringstraked horse and ride scores of miles to Simla-town to confer with the Lieutenant-Governor on matters of state, or to assure the Viceroy that his sword was at the service of the Queen-Empress.

Then the Viceroy would cause a ruffle of drums to be sounded, and the ringstraked horse and the cavalry of the State--two men in tatters--and the herald who bore the silver stick before the King, would trot back to their own place, which lay between the tail of a heaven-climbing glacier and a dark birch-forest.
