I just want to warn other horse owners about two places I have discovered where the horses can disappear (and therefore, their armor). I can post this also in Abilities (bugs and mounts) so that everybody can be warned.
1. The first place I have previously posted about is in louts. I was backtraining to weaons there, dismounted to check out a building in the area, came out and my horse was gone. I figured the louts stole him. The stable retrieved him, but his armor was gone.
2. The second place just happened in Firesprites and Firecats. I stopped to help drag a deader out of the area, came back and my horse had disappeared. Of course, in both instances, I checked all ajoining rooms to make sure he hadn't just wandered, but he was gone. Again, the stables retrieved him, but his armor was gone.
Both cases, I was able to get my armor back from the very helpful GameHosts. (They know me and have a sack with my horse armor in it for these types of emergencies.)
Please save yourself the trouble and nuisance. I know there aren't very many places to take your horses hunting, but don't take your eyes of your horse in these two places or he might disappear.

Thanks for the warning, however I found the safest bet is to get a stock bridle, and ride bare-back. While GMs are FAR better these days about replacing lose gear from shoddy mechanics, I just don't find it worth my, or thier time, to get it back.
On a side note, I do wish you the best of times with your steed, I enjoyed mine before the frustration grew too much.

Thank you Samsaren. I am hoping and praying that the GM's don't take years for the revamp of the companion system (which includes horses); however, I really am expecting it to be that long simply because they are so busy with so many other changes, all of which are appreciated, but my heart lies with my horse.
I genuinely hope I don't get so frustrated that my beautiful horse gets stabled, and I am truly sorry for others that have gotten to that point.
