Ancient people put great importance on their horses, and with good reason. Horses were a symbol of wealth and power. For special occations the people and horses were decked out in their finest. Even war was considered a special occation and everybody had to look their best. It also may have been a way to 'psych' out the enemy. They may have looked more impressive than the opposition.
