Buy the Hernandian Barding from the Hernand Contribution Shop in Hernand, then visit Annabella at the Hernand Saddlery to purchase the matching Hernandian Saddle, Hernandian Stirrups, and Hernandian Champron. Equip all four pieces from the Mount tab to complete the set.
Where to start: Hadwen and the saddlery
The first piece of the set is the Hernandian Barding, a horse armor item sold through the Hernand Contribution Shop. After obtaining the barding, head to the Hernand Saddlery, where Annabella sells the matching horse tack pieces that complete the set. Unlike the barding, these pieces are standard saddlery equipment and appear alongside other horse gear such as horseshoes and stirrups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you buy the Harnandian barding horse armor?
You buy the Harnandian barding horse armor from a vendor in Hadwen. The rest of the set is sold separately at a saddlery after you level it up.
Why can’t I equip the horse armor from my normal inventory?
Horse gear does not apply from the standard inventory screen. You need to open your inventory, go to the mount tab, and click each piece there to apply it to your horse.
Do you have to level up the saddlery first?
Yes. The saddlery must be leveled up before she will sell you the Harnandian saddle, stirrups, and champron. Progress the saddlery until she levels up, then the pieces become available for purchase.
Which horseshoes pair best with the Harnandian set?
Players recommend pairing the Harnandian set with silver iron horseshoes. They complement the barding armor, saddle, stirrups, and champron as the final piece of the loadout.
