the armor that proves even horses needed a stylist before battle
means A crinet is the section of plate or mail armor that protected a warhorse's neck, made of overlapping plates running from the head to the shoulders.
from From Old French 'crin,' meaning horsehair or mane, itself from Latin 'crinis' (hair) — so the crinet is literally the 'mane-piece,' the armor that sat where a horse's flowing crest would be.
