The caparison will be the same as his royal heraldry.

Do you mean the heraldry

...or the actual horse colour ? ...white seems popular especially in films

I moved this to avoid getting lost in reference forum

Ditto. I didn't hesitate. A top release, without question.

Nap, the heraldry

This is the Black Princes equipment but Henry's would have been more or less identical apart from the eldest son's label (the white/silver strip at the top, which being the king he wouldn't have .

Here is a TV programme that recreates it.


Reference the horse I would suggest a gray or possibly a bay.
"From the accounts of John Waterton, Master of the Horse (the chief officer in charge of equine matters) under Henry V. The most prevalent coat colour for the royal horses in Waterton’s account for 1414–16 was “lyard”, or silvery-grey horses. Of the 233 horses in the Master’s care over these two years, ninety-eight were silver-greys with the second most common being bays at fifty-five. If we include the silver-greys with horses described simply as “greys” (grissel) this number rises to 117, or half of all the king’s horses in the account."
