Cloth Barding should be a means to decorate ones horse without a speed penalty. When visible armour comes out, I'm hoping that you'll be able to at least dye the barding different colours, with a possible further enhancement of being able to make Kingdom-themed bardings.

In another game I used to play, everyone from my group would use blue barding so we could easily identify who was who without having to worry about shooting or killing a horse that was actually ours. I think if this were to be implemented alongside of Kingdom styled cloth barding, it would allow for a more user-friendly experience, as well as eye candy. How can a red and black cloth barding not look nice on a black horse?

An image below is kind of what I'm looking towards seeing, but perhaps without the head-guard.

This kind of barding should have little to no impact at all on a horse's speed to allow for use on Freedom without complaints. Perhaps armour like the above could be customized by changing the emblems on parts of the armour, or having a different base colour per Kingdom. Mol-Rehan would get a red, black, and yellow barding (fire based) of some sorts while Jenn-Kellon's barding would be more geared towards a blue and green colour (water and landscape based). HoTS's barding would be primarily black.

What are your opinions on the matter?

Perhaps allow it to be worn even over chain or leather barding, or make chain and leather barding have some kingdom based decor to it, too

Been suggested before, typically in the form of a blanket that can be equipped over barding. Not that Im against the option mind you. :P

What does a hell horse have to do with it? Most people don't have access to a hell horse so they can't ride one if that's what you mean

I think that it is a great idea :D

Hmm theres a point there, most barding is already fire resistant, except for the cloth barding. Cotton Cloth barding on hell horses would naturally burst into flames.

fair for me, i ride plain horses so make the hell horses burst in flames the barding and also start forestal fires with its rear product, i don´t give a penny about.

I think it would be best to enable your suggestion as a new item, a horse tabard like Shalbriri said. Equipable on horses, and appears on top of their barding. Then it would be usable on top of any kind of horse armour or on a armour-less horse.
