Mount barding cosmetic reward for backing at the Leader of Men level.^[1]

Mount barding (also referred to as Saddles) is armor for mounts in Ashes of Creation. Mount barding is similar in concept to player armor.^[2]

The higher the level of barding, the better looking it will be.^[2]
Barding will have multiple components that can be equipped. Each component will increase the stats of the mount, such as hit points and speed.^[3]^[2]
Barding cosmetics can only be applied to mounts with barding cosmetic slots.^[4]
Cosmetic skins may only be applied to barding/saddle items that are earned in-game.^[5]
- Barding skins can not be applied over a mount skin.^[6]
The mount skins are applied to the mount, and barding (think of it like an accessory appearance) can not be applied over the mount skin.^[6] – Cody Peterson
- Barding skins' appearance may differ depending on the type of mount.^[4]

Q: Do nodes provide their citizens some kind of clothes or ornaments, capes, tabards, or something that they can basically represent their node?

A: I mean technically the node does have a sigil or insignia and there will be certain armors that you can customize insignia and/or symbols on, so yes you could probably achieve that.^[12] – Steven Sharif
