Though I have heard it refered to as barding, I have been informed by many
a horse person that it is comparisons. Supposedly, barding is in reference
to horse armour and camparison is the fabric heraldic garments. But online
I find horse people calling it barding.

Medieval reeenactors make costumes for horses - it gets called barding
(if
it isn't armour).
Some vendors who market to medieval reenactors make them too. Consider
