Ok... I have been reading tons of stuff on horses.. most of it seems to be old... so I dove into the forums and am still having problems just locating all the up to date information on them. So if I understand... armor on horses does nothing.. but 16 hands and bigger can wear plate armor... (yes I understand it's for looks). Do 18 hand horses do better in combat than 16 hand ones, is there any difference in the sizes? I am a paladin and want to be able to fight with my horse... I understand they have to be trained to do so first but from the last few posts it seems as though there are some problems with them and just wanted some up to date info on horses, any differences in them, and how to get them to work as well as they are able to. I appreciate any info that you can offer.
