I went to Amphail and bought some tack for my draft horse from Daph Eagleshield's storefront (Eagleshield Fine Horse Leathers). The halter and the harness were mislabeled as being for humans. The halter is always left on the horses head and is used in conjunction with a lead rope to tether or tie a horse. A bridle can be added to the horses head so you can use the reins to direct the horse where you want it to go. When you are riding, the lead rope will be tied to the saddle horn with a couple of half hitches until you need to stop at tether the horse in front of the Tavern. The only experience I have with harnesses is where you tie the holster for your 30-30 long rifle under the right stirrup. The stock of the rifle being in front of the right knee and your calf rope over on the left knee. Granted both of these were usually tied directly saddle by means of two leather straps coming out of the saddle usually decorated with silver conchos to pretty up the saddle. The saddle having many of these concho and straps. My grandpa's saddles had two up front and two in back. The two in back for the saddlebags of course. I'd have to find a cowboy re-enactment picture to see how they tied the throat of the rifles holster, where the rifle's barrel would lie. I'm guessing the saddle had a couple more straps down on the back bottom edge to secure the end of the rifle holster. Here is a picture. https://i.imgur.com/J13lrfd.png The girt, the front rope looking strap that secures the saddle to the front of the horses chest will be on the right side of the saddle when undone. So you can reach under from the left side and then proceed to secure it. You also, always, mount from that left side. Some horses are more forgiving than others about horse etiquette.

Anyway I'm guessing the harness is going to either be armor barding or extra straps for attaching weapons. Like a two handed sword or bastard sword backup in case you lose your lance / spear.

My two coppers,
Thanks,

Just an oversight by the builder. Switched harness and halter to BODY_QUADRUPED.

I noticed I did this in an area as well. Since there isn't a lesson for it, should the values line for a mount item be something along the lines of:

0 BODY_QUADRUPED LAYER_ARMOR ARMOR_TYPE_BRIGANDINE 0 0

You can use this list as a starting point from which to validate:

Object Body Types (Value1)

0 humanoid
1 quadruped
2 winged quadruped
3 armed quadruped
4 snake
5 piscene
6 insect
7 winged biped
8 amorphous
9 spirit
10 avian
11 multi-handed quadruped
12 plant
13 mermaid
14 tentacled biped
15 other
16 and higher, not used and will crash the port
