Knight and his horse harness image - In the Name of Jerusalem II mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
This project is the continuation of our work in Warband crusade MOD "In the Name of Jerusalem". We will continue to extend and improve the old settings. The new campaign map will expand to the Upper Danube, the Nile Delta, the Dinaric Alps, and Transcaucasia. The Bulgarian Empire and Grand Principality of Serbia will be added. Kingdom of Georgia, the Saltukids and the Artuqids (probably Eldiguzids) may comes later. The timeline still starts from 1187, but we will try to add more interesting historical events until 1204 - including the Fourth Crusade.

These look fantastic! Question: when did mail become common use for horse armor? Was it around the time of INJ or later?
Chain horse armor was already used way before the crusades
Mail horse armour reappeared in Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries, but would remain a rarity. It became more common from the 13th century, when it was often worn under caparisons and remained in use until the late 14th / early 15th century, when it was replaced by plate. You can read more in "The Armoured Horse in Europe. 1480-1620" by the Metropolitan Museum.
