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.
I’d like that too. It’s the high cantle saddle that is needed. I’d try but I don’t know enough about horse tack.
Saddles were improved upon during the Middle Ages, as knights needed saddles that were stronger and offered more support. The resulting saddle had a higher cantle and pommel (to prevent the rider from being unseated in warfare) and was built on a wooden tree that supported more weight from a rider with armor and weapons.
Wikipedia on saddle history though still a bit war focussed.
Most people were not knights and didn’t wear armour but still seem to have used the high cantle. Maybe it made them feel safe as riding was ordinary transport for many people. There is a saddle for the old Daz charger that could do if it could be re-fitted. It’s not the one from here - maybe Poser World?
