European Horse Armour

Comments

Glasgow Museums has a collection of horse armour that includes the complete horse armour commissioned by Sir William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, around 1557 – the only one made at the English Royal Workshop at Greenwich to survive. There are also three shaffrons (horses' head protection) of the early 16th century, one of which was designed purely for jousting.
