I'm trying to retexture horses a bit to look a little more like horses.... gave up on trying to tweek models at the moment as that seems beyond me.
WIP bits of horse texture applied to heavy horse model:
I've at the moment taken off the original bridle and other straps, am not sure how correct they are and they don't look great - CA has strap under eye I've not seen any evidence for anywhere else:
thought I might as well ask now before everyone tells me I've got it wrong when I think I've finished.... has anyone got any info on bridle patterns etc for 13c in british isles, and also on predominant horse colours?
For bridles I found this page which seems to imply most are simpler:

I know my horses are getting a bit on the glossy - well trimmed side at the moment - will try and shaggify the lower class mounts. Area around manes also needs work still as its coming up ragged.
EDIT: only model change was rein is reduced in depth - as it spends most of time no where near riders hand I thought it might be better less obvious....
