Is there a special name for the blanket underneath the saddle? They are beautifully embroidered. I imagine only the horse rode by the leader/King would get such an exquisite piece of item?

Thanks for the tour

Yes, in traditional terminology it’s called shabrack (simlair in Polish - czaprak) or caparison - the long one, like the blue one😊 in modern terms it’s just called saddle pad
