This section is dedicated to the decoration of the horse in Medieval times. Many fine pieces have been unearthed by metal detectorists over the years adding to the evidence from manuscript sources. Those of you that have access to back copies of Treasure Hunting magazine may also find useful information in my articles MEDIEVAL HARNESS PENDANTS of December 1986; May 1987; July 1987
