They are enchantable (same as Boots), so you can have Frost Walker or Depth Strider on them to help you cross water. The horse will return damage with Thorns and survive deadly falls with Feather Falling too.
They can be retrieved at any moment using Shears.
You need to sneak to equip & retrieve them, so it feels like real Blacksmith work!
When Durability is low, you can repair them on an anvil, use Mending holding them in your hand, or just smelt them for a nugget.
For consistency, Horse Armours are now also enchantable but subject to Durability!
You can however toggle off Durability in the config.
