--- #### **Usage** Armors are a final addition to a **full** Adventure Armor tack set (Bridle, Saddle, Blanket, Girth, Breastcollar and Leg Wraps). It is placed in a slot that is also used by [Pasture Blankets](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/pasture-blanket) - both items cannot be used at once. Right click a fully (adventure) tacked horse with armor in-hand to equip it. Alternately, Shift + Right click a tamed [SWEM Horse](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/swem-horse "SWEM Horse") to open the horse GUI and place the horse armor in the armor slot.

Tack-equip order: [Bridle](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/bridle "Bridle") > [Blanket](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/blanket "Blanket") > [Saddle](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/saddle "Saddle") > [Girth Strap](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/girth-strap "Girth Strap"). Optional: [Breast collar](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/breast-collar), [Leg Wraps](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/leg-wraps), [Horse Armor](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/horse-armor), [Saddle Bag](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/saddle-bag)

**Wings** In [Client Configs](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/client-config), players can alter the opacity at which they view wings when equipped. You can also toggle their visibility in game with full stop / period keybind - which can be remapped if necessary.

In V1, flight will not be enabled on initial release. The feature is unstable and requires more development and testing.
