I would use a touch of blue mixed with the black for the highlights to make it pop without going too contrasty. Another option would be to use a gloss coat on the horse and use just minimal highlights. The problem you might be noticing with the above picture is a result of using non metal metallics for the armor and it just looks a lot like the horse. Using either true metal metallics or different highlight colors would solve the issue.
