If it helps, I always thought the word was caparison.

It is.

Caparison (n): a decorative covering for a horse or for the tack or harness of a horse; trappings.

Comparison - looking at the merits or otherwise of two types of horse covering.

The WIP images look good, nice lighting on them as well.  Similar lighting with them on your games table/mat and they should stand out nicely.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Looks like a good knights  painting

[Techno]

Very nice again, M.

I was always under the impression that the caparison was there to stop varlets of evil intent from ham-stringing the horse.

I'd heard something similar, perhaps the Welsh chaps with their knives.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Knives - bit technical for the Welsh, thought they were limited to pointed sticks ?
