Well, looks good, and I’d like a better horse figure .... but it appears to be lacking the one accessory I’d need, exactly the same as the original Mil Horse. 
I’d want the horse for renders illustrating a story in a medieval-ish fantasy setting, but geared up just for travelling, not jousting or as heavy cavalry. So I just want simple historical/fantasy horse tack, NOT barding. But for MH2 the selection appears to be the same as for the original MH: Western and modern English tack, both anachronistic for my needs; and historical/fantasy barding for battle, joust or pageant display, not simple travelling tack. Nobody seems to have made a set of fantasy/historical non-barding tack suitable for just journeying down the road since the set for the DAZ Charger.
So, question:
Are any out of the Ceremonial Armor, Knightly Barding or Dark Barding made in such a way that one can extract - or turn bits off so one only sees - a basic, no armour set of tack appropriate for a medieval/fantasy milieu: bridle and reins, saddle pad/blanket, girth, stirrups and simple saddle only?
I mean ... even for those with a medieval knight jousting and trotting off questing with their destrier in full barding (which one wouldn’t have just for travelling, but never mind), where’s the tack for the lady’s palfrey, the merchant’s rouncey or the bandit’s hobby? Or even for the knight or lord’s courser when they are just out hunting? And my fantasy series is set somewhere that is not medieval England, is not that much like medieval England, does not have knights per se, and while barding does exist amongst certain groups for certain purposes, it is rare and never features in the stories.
So please: could somebody make some basic tack suitable for pre-nineteenth century non-warhorses (and even warhorses while travelling and not actually in or just about to go into battle)?
I suppose I might be able to extract the tack from Predatron’s Lorez Horse or donkey and refit them .... sigh.
Daio’s Native Costume sets might be of some use. They aren’t medieval, but they aren’t the modern stuff either. Should be at Rendo unless they’ve gone the way of clearance/disappearance.
