I utilized multiple different sources of inspiration to create this tack set to make a little mish-mash of "Baroque" style tack, using the best resources as I could muster.

What is Baroque?

To put it very simply, it is a group of horse breeds that were most renown in the Baroque period in Europe. Andalusians, Friesians, Lusitanos, and Lipizzaners are some of the most popular Baroque breeds to this day. Especially here on Second Life. Baroque tack is tack that was commonly used on these breeds when trained in Haute Ecole (Classical Dressage). Baroque horses are not to be confused with the Destrier breeds (most commonly used as war horses during the middle ages).

So, in a nutshell, this is fancy classical dressage inspired tack, for your Andalusians, Lipizzaners, or just any horse lookin' to feel fancy.

NOTE!!! IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ!!!

A LOT OF THIS TACK IS SUPPOSED TO BE ADDED. You can wear the Bridle and Saddle, but the Breast Collar, Noseband, and two "breast collar enhancers" need to be ADDED or else you will be removing your currently worn tack. The bridle itself might even need to be added, since it attaches to where your forelock usually attaches. Yay for limited attach points and maxing out the linked prim limit... woo.

WHEN TELEPORTING OR SIM CROSSING: You might "lose" an item. It will look like it's still on you on YOUR screen, but to everyone else it looks like that piece of your tack is missing. I know a piece is missing when I try to detach it and it doesn't detach, that means that it's probably not visible to other people.

I've found no way to fix this other than relogging, and then re-attaching/adding the item when I come back online. This is an unfortunate bug associated with adding items. There was nothing I could do about this, but that's why much of this tack is indeed OPTIONAL. You do not have to wear it. Though I take the risk in wearing it 'cause darn do I like how it makes me look!

Additionally, those who use higher detail settings on SL will see this set in all its splendor. I use Mid to High range graphics with glow and shine.

This is PRIMMY so mod with caution xD

What's Included?
=============

There's a few options available for you to wear with this set.

*** [BTS] Baroque Bridle (Black/Gold)
Attaches to the SKULL. You may need to add this instead of wear it, as it may remove your forelock. This is only to be worn with the original BC QH Head.

*** [BTS] ADD ME Baroque Noseband (Black/Gold)
Attaches to the SKULL. This is not to be worn on its own. It is means to be added when you're wearing the bridle to show a more "complete" piece. This is only to be worn with the original BC QH Head.

*** [BTS] Roman Nose Baroque Bridle (Black/Gold)
Attaches to the SKULL. You may need to add this instead of wear it, as it may remove your forelock. This is only to be used with the BC Mod Kit "Roman Nose" style head. It will look big and baggy on any other head.

*** [BTS] ADD ME Roman Nose Baroque Noseband (Black/Gold)
Attaches to the SKULL. This is not to be worn on its own. It is means to be added when you're wearing the bridle to show a more "complete" piece. This is only to be used with the BC Mod Kit "Roman Nose" style head. It will look big and baggy on any other head.

*** [BTS] Dressage Baroque Saddle
Attaches to the CHEST. This saddle sits on a dark rigged mesh pad.

*** [BTS] ADD ME Baroque Breast Collar
Attaches to the CHEST. This breast collar can be added when wearing the saddle. Be sure to add this one.

*** [BTS] ADD ME Fancy Baroque BC Left
Attaches to the CHEST. Add this only when you choose to wear the Breast collar. It adds little dangling bits to make the breast collar even more fancy. Unfortunately this is only the left side, so it needs to be worn with the [BTS] ADD ME Fancy Baroque BC Right item as well, or else it'll look all silly and off balanced. I couldn't link them together, too many prims :C

*** [BTS] ADD ME Fancy Baroque BC Right

Important Information
=============

- ALL ITEMS ARE MOD, COPY, NO TRANS --- The Bridle CAN be modified, but the scripts CANNOT... so the Bridle may appear to be No Mod but it is actually able to be modified.

- THE SADDLE PAD CANNOT BE RESIZED. This saddle pad is made of rigged mesh for the Quarter Horse Body, and is only guaranteed to work with the QH Body. It may not fit on the QH Mod Kit bodies, or the Shire, Foal, or other Horse Avatars.

- Do not redistribute or re-create this tack in part or in whole for resale. Have some respect <3

The previous reviewer bought it mistakenly believing it for a breedable horse rather than a horse avatar.

This tack set is honestly incredible. I purchased it for my BCQH AVATAR a few months ago and wore it forever. It's fantastic. The detail on it is unmatched by any other set of sculpty/prim tack for horse AVATARS. I can't imagine how long this set took, looking at it closely and seeing just how much detail is in it.

Again, previous reviewer mistakenly purchased this thinking it was for a breedable. It's not. It's for a horse avatar. And it's a gorgeous, gorgeous tack set.
