John
I think you are talking yourself into your preference
and there is nothing wrong with that
however
I would define a horseman's cuirass as one of the shorter cut off at or below the bellybutton type harnesses
not one that travels further at the abdomen and making it definitely difficult to bend forward.
Nor do I classify the "fatmans armour" that Connolly ascribed to cavalry for the same reason.
So
Please sir
refine your definition of a horseman's bronze corselet!!

Richard
