I am not sure what you are looking for. One easily obtained source is this
file in the ANIMALS section of my Stefan's Florilegium:

horses-msg        (63K)  4/22/98    Medieval horses. Horses in the SCA.

This file contains some message describing equestrian activities and rules
in several kingdoms as well as some referances to things like period saddles
and horse breeds.

An older version of this file is available at the website:
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/rialto/rialto.html

Or I would be happy to send you the latest version by email in either Word
or text format.

Another source that might be useful is the HMSO book on period horse gear. I
don't remember the title off the top of my head, though.
