Caparison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A caparison is a covering, or cloth laid over a horse or other animal, especially a pack animal, or horse of state.
In the Middle Ages, caparisons were part of the horse armour known as barding, which was worn during war or tournament.
The word is Spanish, being an augmentative of cape, caput, "head".
