Skyrim:Steel Horse Armor
The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995
Added by Skyrim Creation Club. It's mostly cosmetic. It costs 500 gold at any blacksmith to armor your horse and can be taken off at any blacksmith as well. Once removed the armor will go to your inventory and can be sold normally.
Bugs: There's a chance that the horse won't spawn with the armor, however the armor is still active.
