Footcloth.

Thank you.

Thank you.

More usually it would be caparison, trapping and sometimes called barding. The footcloth was  a long length of highly decorated cloth that showed status or rank, this  was draped over the horse rather than worn.

Another stand of knights done tonight



And a command stand:

Did not know that. Thanks to you too, Maenoferren. Was the foot cloth draped over the front or the rump or both?
BTW like the latest additions to 'the muster.'

From what I understand it mentions the back of the horse... not the withers etc so I would imagine that it would be over the rump behind the saddle. however that is my intepretation
it is a very old expression, which over tme has come to mean different things

A sort of  medieval  longer version of this....

I have got a couple of copies of original pictures and I cannot find them anywhere

something a bit more like this ... but longer
it should go down to at least the fetlocks

The horse yes, but the footcloth was brocade and was for decoration/symbol of status.

Do not feed the troll!
