I have an upcoming Equestria dreamscape posting that has some ponies wearing some rather sinister looking sets of armor.  To get myself in the mood for doing the art for that posting I decided to do some rather quick sketches this afternoon of various Medieval European helmets. In particular I was interested in sallets and barbutte style helmets. This is was the result of those sketches.

You can see in the German model their modern variant. Excellent protection for the back of the neck.

Great set of helmets! I suppose that ponies wouldn't be able to manage kabutos with full menpo. I.e., those fancy Japanese samurai helms with the war masks.

Um I know that some of a zebra kingdoms in my dreamscape had menpo-style facemask. for their warriors.

That's not neck protection. The helmet is streamlined for cutting down wind resistance! ;)

Kind of like those racing bike helmets......

How much do you study historic horse barding for things like this?

MishaFox

Seriously thou a little streamlining of the armor might help the pegasus.
