Novgorod 13th century

I recommend in the future not to get involved in cavalry armor. In fact, if not confused, only once mention the cavalry armor of Daniel Galitsky. Mostly it is imagination of the artist Igor Zisa

Thank you for your comment.
Cavalry armor is an interesting question. First of all, it was cold on April 5 and the horses were covered in blankets. Secondly - a horse (especially a fighting horse) was very expensive. Arrows (someone is better, someone is worse) were the vast majority of the population. Forgive me, but I made a conclusion about the need for at least light armor for horses.

Please tell us about the armor characteristic of the younger squad. I am now collecting information about light warriors.

I'm not a big specialist, question about horse armor has been discussed separately in Russian wargamers the forum. Junior squad and I don't expect much different from the older, perhaps had a armor of poorer quality and in smaller quantities
It may be interesting more pictures Zisi, although a lot of them are controversial
