The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Horse Armour

Fantasy game art from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

This Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion fantasy game art page has pictures of armored horses. Realistic-looking horses were always a part of Oblivion, but it was not until the downloadable add-on "Horse Armor" that horses received armour and improved survivability. The game engine does not permit fighting on horseback, so a character typically had to either flee combat or dismount to fight. While dismounting, the horse was frequently attacked, and in the mid- to late game-, when enemies are strong, a horse could be killed quickly.

There are only two styles of armour -- Steel and Elven. If you take a look at how they are implemented in the game, they are not actually worn by the horse. Instead, the game replaces a horse with another horse modelled wearing armor.
