O.K. I'll make some explanations what I mean.
First the horse: Well generally we can say the horse body should be 2,5 x lengh of the horse head. And the neck is too small especially in comparison with the legs. The cannons are a little too long but I think they're o.k.
The wide bridle looks rather medieval than rennaissance and the seat in the saddle could be higher, the stirrups should have longer straps.
Have a look at the saddles, the leatherstraps and the seat of the man.

The spaulders (shoulder protectors) of renaissance armor are smaler and without such rims.
For example: German spaulders with the typical fixing hole, and see the arrangement of the scales:

http://www.outfit4events.com/eur/produc ... uit-armor/Well, not the best replica of an renaissance style Italian armor, and yes it is 1550 style, but we can see the design of simple pauldrons. Here the pauldrons are riveted, often they were from one piece. Look at the cut outs for the arm mobility.These are Italian style pauldrons fastened at the shoulder straps.
What we're seeing too is the big cut out of the breastplates for the arms. The defined taille of the plate armor i.e. the breastplate does sit IN the taille where the taille really is, (the renaissance armor is a real bodyshaper!), the tigh taille of the breastplate can NOT sit on the hip. Below the taille is the fauld in the front with some scaled lames then the cut out for the „Latz“ at the genitals; the back is often uncovered or armored by the culet with scaled lames.
The clothes style of the Landsknecht figures are dating about 1510-1540 so the armor should have a more or less defined „Kugelbauch“ (ball shaped breastplate) design, the so called „Tapulbrust“ with an edge is more characteristic for the mid of the 16. cent.
Excuse me for making links instead if images, but try to surf along them and you will find further examples of belonging subjects.
