You can purchase special armor for Animals, called Barding. All Animals have a trained Proficiency rank in light Barding, and combat-trained Animals are trained in heavy Barding. Barding uses the same rules as armor except for the following. The Price and Bulk of Barding depend on the animal’s size (use the statistics for Small Barding for creatures below Small size). Barding can’t be etched with magic runes, though special Magical Barding might be available.
