Indeed, no horse armour found in Britain. We do have evidence of an armoured cavalry unit (Equites catafractarii iuniores), but no evidence that their horses were armoured.
I never realized there was evidence of the Equites catafractarii (in the north?) I've always treated this ala speculatively, since the only source I could find was Skene.(About as trustworthy as Mack the Knife.) :wink:
