How i'd make horse armor like wolf armor

Right now, horse armor is kind of weird. It works like player armor, and there's too many tiers of the same purpose. I propose a way to keep your horse armor items in tact while balancing it is there are four tiers diffrent from the current ones. Leather, armadillo, horse, and netherite. Now i'm not exactly sure if we should have two dye tiers, but there is a big question of what happens to metal horse armor? diamond horse armor now is called just horse armor, and you can change the color with all armor trim minerals, plus coal, Maybe excluding netherite and diamond and instead light blue armor is prismarine, though it could be a cool flex. That flex is gone, as i think horse armor should break EXCEPT netherite horse armor, in turn netherite only defends 75% to 84%. But then I think normal horse armor in turn is back in trial chamber loot, can be bought from villagers, and fished up. This would make diamond colored horse armor less of a flex, but also makes it easier to use. You can upgrade it like any diamod armor to netherite. Now armadillo horse armor is tricky, but i think wolf armor could be renamed to pet armor, and used on horses, cats, and foxes as well. Now the protection stats, I think leather should have 128 durability with 5 armor, then the renamed diamond has 256 durability with 10 armor, and netherite armor, again, has infinite durability with 20 armor. Armadillo armor would work the exact same as wolf armor. Ig it would also be cool if you could enchant, but eh
