Query Re Beast Armour (W&E) & Heavy Cavalry Requirements (Bestiary)

The Bestiary has previously not dealt with ENC for beasts, treating it as something generally only applicable to adventurers. It was abstracted in the rule on Bestiary p146 as "A horse needs an average STR and SIZ of at least 26 to function as a mount for heavy cavalry."

Weapons & Equipment introduces Beast Armor with ENC/10 SIZ. I'm assuming that's one increment per 10 SIZ or part there of? 

Is it the intention that if the beast qualifies for light cavalry (which I generally take to mean 3pt armour or less on the rider), then it can also (& separately) wear light armor up to its ENC limit & that limit is calculated as normal (Ave of STR & CON, capped by STR)?

A heavy cavalry beast can wear heavy armour and the rider? 

Looking at an average Daron (STR29, CON13, SIZ 29, Max Enc: 21, Armor costs 3 increments of ENC), does this mean that the horse can carry a fully armoured rider and have Heavy Scale armour on Legs/Body/Head for 20ENC?
