The light warhorse category includes ponies and riding horses (the latter reflects custom and use rather than the ability of the horse to carry actual weight).
Limits: A horse can wear half barding one class heavier than its maximum full barding. Flying creatures are limited to leather and padded barding only.
Padded includes quilted armor.
Scale includes studded leather, brigandine, and ring mail (weights will differ).
Banded includes splint.
==Table 3: Optional Barding Armor Class==
(This can replace the Creatures with Natural Armor Class section in Chapter 6 of the Player's Handbook .)
 Table 3: Optional Barding Armor Class
Type of Barding 	ACBonus	MaximumAC
Leather (Padded) 	+1 	4
Scale, Brigandine,Studded, Ring	+2 	3
Chain 	+3 	2
Banded, Splint 	+4 	1
Plate 	+5 	0
AC Bonus is the amount of protection a type of barding affords. For example, a heavy warhorse (AC 7) in plate barding (+5) has an adjusted AC of 2.
Maximum AC is the best AC conferred by non-magical barding of this type. Past this point, the innate toughness of the creature renders this type of barding redundant.
==Table 4: Optional Partial Barding==
The following chart may be used to determine the armor class of partial barding. Bonuses are added to the mount's base AC.

Leather 	6 	————————(see notes)————————	————————(see notes)————————	————————(see notes)————————

Chain 	4 	** 	0 	**
Banded 	3 	** 	** 	**
Plate 	2 	1 ea. 	** 	1 ea.
Field Plate	1 	1 ea. 	** 	1 ea.
Full Plate 	0 	1 ea. 	1 ea. 	1 ea.
Notes:
: Leather: The only effective combination less than full leather is half leather, which gives protection to the front of the horse only.
: Scale: Half scale protects the front of the horse only. Any other combination of at least three pieces (except crinet) gives a +1 bonus to armor class.
: ** Any two pieces give a +1 bonus to AC.

: Half weight and half cost are the weight and cost for half barding.
Time is the time an armorer requires to make the barding (as per The Complete Fighter's Handbook). Half barding takes 2 weeks less than full barding.
