Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Some time ago we've seen weird topic about horse hats... However it gave me an idea to suggest horse head only armor, for only decorative purposes. They could be made out of leather, chains, plate (iron, steel, copper, seryll etc) for just decorative purposes, without slowing down a horse. We all agree that actual horse bardings are cool, but they're not practical because they're slowing our mounts a lot, what makes it kinda useless for travellers. Here's leather example: Spoiler Some examples of plate crinets: Spoiler It also makes a sense, because chain/ plate bardings for horses as we see in game were rarely used in medieval at all. There's pretty much none real examples of full plate/ chain bardings during medieval times, but metal crinets and shaffrons were used together with cloth bardings in late medieval more frequently. Also we could get more horse variations, as well as some rare/ unique crinets/ shaffrons, like some kinda horse masks. EDIT: Btw, it could as well work as briddle Edited July 4, 2017 by Alkhadias 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
