 Rules for barding were introduced in 1983((Dragon #74.)) and reprinted in UA in 1985. They are basically broken -- mainly, the barding is far too heavy. Encumbrance was dramatically increased from the OD&D numbers, to the point where medium and heavy horses may not even be able to move at all.((https://deltasdnd.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-much-weight-can-horse-carry-in-d.html)) This was brought up in Dragon #118, but via a forum submission which was apparently not replied to by TSR.

+Don't forget, MV is halved if the mount's first encumbrance threshold has been met. If the mount's maximum encumbrance has been reached, it is unable to move.
