Robin Wood in the companion book to the deck has the key as "Where Angels Fear to Tread!"
I can easily visualize this card and the action and romantic hero. His golden suit of armour shows his firey nature and the lion's head helmet shows his courage, strength, loyalty, nobility, as well as pride and the capability to inflict violence and retribution.
He is swift to act and agile too; a good jouster. But his legs and arms are exposed, so he has vulnerabilities that can be taken advantage of and perhaps do him harm.
I see joyful spirit and sense of humor too -- the center of attention at parties and gatherings (reminds me of high school athletes and their youthful prowess...). He is not afraid to try soemthing new and/or dangerous (James Bond comes to mind too). However, his firey temper may at times get out of control -- he may appear to control his horse but the hoarse is rearing and anxious to go into battle. Slef-control must be in the forefront of this knight at times when others may encourage him to rash behavior and anger. He must control his energy for the right time and approach to the situation.
When I draw this card for my daily lesson, I try to remember to apply the need to try something new if appropriate to the day's work, capture the knight's energy and enthusiasm if I am feeling down or tired, and if I have things under control then to cut loose and have a bit of fun (after work is done -- keep the focus).
In dreams, it is wonderful to have this knight guide me into a fantasy of fun and adventure -- Robin Hood, James Bond, Harrison Ford, Pierce Bronson... you get the picture.
