✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download count (21,357) shows real interest in horse riding in Morrowind.
- Adds a new travel option that fits the vanilla world, with merchants in two locations.
- Active development (last updated August 2026) suggests ongoing support.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 110 endorsements compared to downloads—could indicate mixed reception or niche appeal.
- No mention of horse combat or advanced features—likely just basic riding.
- Requires OpenMW, so players on the original Morrowind engine can't use it.
For Morrowind players who want to explore the world faster and more immersively, especially those playing with OpenMW. If you're tired of walking everywhere and want a simple horse-riding addition, this is for you. Skip if you're on the original engine or expect complex horse mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running OpenMW, not the original Morrowind executable, or the mod won't work.
- Look for the horse merchants in Karthwasten (Skyrim) and Anvil (Cyrodiil) to buy your first horse.
- Check the mod's forum or comments for any known issues with OpenMW versions.
