Madawc put on his new, heavy armor before following the king. Not doing so beforehand would be pretty pointless since he intended to actually use that new equipment. The stables were very large - not really a big surprise. The question was if the king would have a suitable mount. Madawc placed himself on the first one they encountered, not caring much about anything. The result was pretty much the same as with his old one.
