Horse/ Horse Armour system

[The_lol_King]

kind of yeah^^

A tiger would be an awsome pet, kind of hard and expensive to take care of once they are grown up though

Indeed, a widest horses variety is needed in terms of colours and breeds (more colours at least), it's too boring and unrealistic by having just the generic horses,..it seems a cavalry of cloned horses (all of them are brown or black,... well, with a few white ones that correspond to steepe horses and coursers,...anyway, It's a sad variety with lack of realism). Almost forget,  the armored horses would look better with their tails outside the armor, ...at the current  way that they are, they seem beetles (galloping beetles) , ...just let their tails flame while they gallop, they will look better and closer to an elegant and majestic medieval war horse that way, ..and for imersion aesthetic  matters, that would be great.

pigs are indeed more intelligent but they are only good as a food source nothing more, they can't aid us more than dying and us eating their flesh.
sheep are stupid - FACT they can distinguish colour and that's about it.
chickens are just, well, chickens, they cluck they lay eggs and when they stop laying we eat them too -better than pigs by miles

narrow minded ha ha maybe but pigs can't really do much to benefit me other than die....
wheras horse are like a dog, for friendship and are a means of transportation across the battlefield

Well, yea but being more useful to mankind doesn't make them BETTER than other animals... That's just the whole point.

how so ?
Surely something more useful to us humans is superior to something that is not?
for example surely a medicinal herb is better than one that makes us ill?
or a dog is better than a amoeba ?
or even a pen is better than a piece of chalk?

A dog is indeed 'better', if you would call it that way, than an amoeba, but imo simply because an amoeba has no brains or emotions, while a dog has emotions. You can make a dog sad or happy, so, however his emotions are more basic than human emotions, it has its own, ehm, 'soul', by lack of a better word. A pig or a sheep has emotions too (maybe even more basic than with a dog, I don't know, but I don't think a horse has a more advanced emotional intelligence). But you are not even comparing in the same area of biology. A dog is an animal, while an amoeba is a protist.

I find a medicinal herb indeed better than a poisonous one, simply because none of them have emotions, and then you can categorise them pragmatically. But that has got nothing to do with the point I'm trying to make... Just like the pen and the chalk.

A better word for a soul would be a personality, everyone has one, every conscious thing has one, unlike a soul which is purely religious and may not even exist, we can't deny that we all have personality. It's what defines each and every one of us as an individual.
Emotions? who said anything about emotions? Horses are simply more useful to humans than a pig.
horses are a  resource with multiple uses, hauling goods, riding, racing hunting, and many more.

The most important things on the planet are us humans(even by your emotional grading), therefore what is more useful to a human is more valuable and therefore better. simple. 

Horses can feel/smell fear like dogs can, and sense when something bad is going to happen I'd really really for love a pig to do the same(it would be funny, plus humans would almost certainly ignore it).
If a horse can sense emotions around it and react to them, therefore almost understand them, it's got to have a more advanced emotional awareness.

P.s
I love debates,

Yea personality is a better word. I mean from the moment a being has something like a personality, we can no longer make a hierarchy in value between them. Why are humans the most important, simply because, by chance, we have developed through evolution a brain large and advanced enough to invent a wheel and high-speed digital fiber optic technology? I don't think that makes us more valuable. Yes are emotions are more advanced, but I think when a dog feels fear or happiness he feels exactly the same. True, he cannot feel melancholic, embarrassed or cynical, but his emotions have the same strength. Of course every species has to keep itself alive and I don't have a problem with eating meat from time to time, but I just wouldn't say a horse is worth more than a pig. Besides, it's not because you eat horse that there will be no more horses for other tasks like riding. If the economical demand rises, the offer rises too. You'll just get more horse breeders and less pig breeders.
