I propose horses with light leather and or cloth coverings for light horsemen. Heraldic cloth coverings for your destrier or sumpter horse would be absolutely awesome to see.
Perhaps one reason for the pervasive belief that the medieval war horse had to be of draught horse type is the assumption, still held by many, that medieval armour was heavy. In fact, even the heaviest tournament armour (for knights) weighed little more than 90 pounds (41 kg), and field (war) armour 40 to 70 pounds (18 to 32 kg); barding, or horse armour, more common in tournaments than war, rarely weighed more than 70 pounds (32 kg).[51] For horses, Cuir bouilli (a type of hardened leather), and padded caparisons would have been more common --Wikipedia :D Im not arguing the weight of the horse but the fact that they had lighter armor then chain

They already have diffrent armour values, do they not? If its just for looks id rather they not worked on it before anything else :P
Should be able to cover any horse in your heraldic banner, not just the light ones

Cool helmet anyway...

i was under the impression the Barded horse was the initial horse to have the heraldry. Then it never happened, and we were stuck with a horse wearing a beige blanket. If this is/was the case, then it only wont need much to add heraldry.

These screenshots show one of the problems of heraldics in Warband. The native banner have this "falling cloth" structure baked in, which means the area right next to the banner will look ridiculously plain without it.
It might be possible to remove the cloth structure (would also have to be done for all clan banners), or at least, have a "colored" horse in the appropriate banner background color.

For the heraldic horses mod just search 'warband heraldic lances' in google i think it should being you there.
I have high hopes for zagibu!:)

Warham's heirloom horses. I just googled it but looks like it was deleted, used from other mods or whatever the deal. Sucks, I haven't played crpg without it since I can remember, wish everyone else could and did use it as well.
-edit-
Oh wait, I just searched in the forum itself and it's here, different thread or something. Stupid google. Coming to kill me with your super robots.

Ah and yes, and updated download of it or some renewal with it's own thread here.

And if it was gone I always kept a copy on my dropbox, don't worry:)

This is just what I was looking for! How has this not been added yet?! it's so obvious yet such a good concept!!
We already have a barded warhorse, why not make a heraldic version, like the great helms?? This is a great idea, and should take precedence.
And perhaps even a heraldic plated charger?
Nonetheless this is is a great idea, I hope to see it ingame!

It was never done before, because it's impossible without WSE.
