Q re horses and armor

[javasaurus]

Do you think that horses learn that they are a couple steps closer to invulnerable when wearing armor? How does their behavior change when wearing it? -- do they become more aggressive when wearing it, or do they mostly just want it off?

I can't speak to the "Ha Hah! I am invulnerable!" mindset, but I do know that one of the horses a few years ago realized that he had a point on the front of his faceplate (unicorn-like), and would use it to poke unsuspecting squires.
Horse humor, I guess. :)

*snort* I can see some of our knights doing that, if they had a point.
