**This resource pack tweaks the appearances of Iron Horse Armor, Golden Horse Armor, and Diamond Horse Armor in a couple ways:**<\/p>\n
**Custom Saddle Pads**<\/p>\n
> The **Diamond Horse Armor** saddle pad is a deep turquoise with silver and black accents.
\n>
\n> The **Golden Horse Armor** saddle pad is based off of activator rails. It’s primary color is a dark, cool-toned brown which is accented by gray, red, & gold.
\n>
\n> The **Iron Horse Armor** saddle pad is loosely inspired by iron ore. It’s dark gray with tan and brown accents.<\/p>\n
**Updated Color Palettes**<\/p>\n
> The color palettes used for Iron Horse Armor & Diamond Horse Armor have been changed to match their player armor counterparts much more closely.
\n>
\n> This primarily affects the Iron Horse Armor, which is now a lot lighter!
\n> The color palette used for Diamond Horse Armor only needed small tweaks, making the difference much harder to notice.
\n>
\n> Golden Horse Armor already shares its color palette with the Golden Armor worn by players, hence its exclusion.<\/p>\n
