Faster Healing
Magic Protection: Protection against various AOE or projectile magic damage.
Enhanced Frost Walker: Makes it so water turns to ice around a horse - whether they are moving or not! Has a small AOE and will destroy waterlogged plants in their path so they never fall through holes. Removed in 1.20.1-1.3.2
Lava Walker: Makes it so lava turns to magma blocks around a horse - whether they are moving or not! Has a small AOE.
Fire Resistance: Horse is immune to all types of fire damage (including Lava + magma blocks).
Usage
Pasture Blankets are a cosmetic item for SWEM Horses. Armored Pasture Blankets are a welfare-driven (comfort) variation of Horse Armor.
Right click a tamed SWEM Horse with a pasture blanket in hand to equip it - or open the horse's GUI menu (shift + right click with an empty hand) to place the item in the designated tack spot. Pasture blankets use the same tack slot as Horse Armor, so both cannot be used at the same time. Pasture blankets cannot be equipped in addition to tack - and are not intended to be used as quarter sheets or any other kind of riding blanket.
Currently, pasture blankets cannot be displayed like some other tack items (the saddle rack, bridle rack or (more appropriately) the horse armor rack).

Trivia
Prior to release, pasture blankets were a often asked for but very uncertain feature, based on the complexity of the model and the importance of doing such an important item justice. It was always hoped that artists would be able to design a 3D model instead of a simple texture overlay. Between this and development time limitations, blankets were not planned until V2.
During the SWEM Team's Queen's Cavalry streams it became apparent that pasture blankets were important in survival modpacks - particularly when emphasizing immersion and welfare standards. Complex PVE modpacks with hostile mods proved a huge challenge to vulnerable and precious pets like horses; they would often be caught in the crossfire or sustain critical damage from things that could easily be prevented with armor. Supporting survival and adventure modpacks has always been core to SWEM alongside the focus on realism and welfare, so a flaw where horses had to be constantly left tacked in heavy armor, kept indoors at all time or simply not used was not an option. AlaharranHonor (Owner) got to work designing a concept blanket from scratch that could work with SWEM horses, refining it into a finished product to be textured by Cytris and coded by Legenden.
