📋 About This Mod

Requirements

Lenny's Mod Loader (beta 6 or higher) is absolutely essential.

Overview

This mod gives the horse breed of your choice the speed, agility, sturdiness and loyalty you crave.

Your horse will have maximum health, stamina, speed, acceleration and handling, and a starting bonding level of 3 or 4.

I took inspiration from The Ultimate Horse, and the author's unwillingness to add additional horses to his mod, and decided to do it myself.

No, I didn't ask his permission, because I don't use any of his files.
