Horse Armor Stand
by HyeroDrimm
With Horse Armor Stand, players can place an armor stand for horse armor, so horse armor can be displayed on a stand instead of only on a horse.
What it does
The mod brings the armor stand idea from vanilla to horses. A stand can hold horse armor and show it without a horse wearing it. The mod runs on Fabric and is published for 1.20 – 1.21.1 across seven release versions, with the latest file, 1.0.2-1.21.1, built for 1.21.1 and dated 2024-12-23.
Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. Fabric API and Geckolib are required dependencies and must be installed alongside it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The project is listed with the description (Abandoned), and the first file was published on 2023-08-30.
The author notes that the mod should work with any mod that adds vanilla-looking horse armor, without fancy models. A fix for the Fresh Animations Extensions add-on is available from another author, PieceMaker085, and is needed for that add-on to work properly.
Key features
Horse armor on stands
Placed stands display horse armor, so an armor set can be shown in a room or exhibit.
Compatible horse armor
Other mods that add plain horse armor are meant to work with the stands without extra setup.
Wolf armor stand
A companion stand for wolf armor is listed among the mod's features.
Fresh Animations fix
A separate fix by another author is needed for the Fresh Animations Extensions add-on to work correctly.

Use cases
Displaying horse armor
Builders can show horse armor sets on stands in stables, shops or museum rooms.
Who it’s for: Players who collect or display horse armor, and server owners who want stands for it on a shared world. Players who only ride horses with armor on them have no need for the stand.
How it compares
Craftable Horse Armor is server-side required with the client optional, is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20 – 1.21.1, and is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. More Armor Stand Variants (MStV+) is also client and server, is published for Fabric for 1.20.1 – 26.2, and is under a Creative Commons license, while Horse Armor Stand is under the MIT License and is open source.

What the author says
It should work with no problem with any mods, that add vanilla-looking (without fancy models) armor to the game. Then you can use it just as a classic armor stand. How will you display your cool armors?
