Features
- [] Easy herd management with up to 30 horses. [] Rename herded horses and give them any name you like. [] Set the herd camp anywhere to have all horses in one place.

Things You Should Know
- [] Skyrim v1. 9. 32. 0 and Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) v1. 7. 0+ are required to run this mod. [] At first herding has been developed as integral part of Convenient Horses mod but I decided to release it separately because of SKSE requirements and purchased horses having their names reset.
Getting Started
Installation 1. Update Skyrim to minimum 1. 9. 32. 0 version. 2. Install or update SKSE to version 1. 7. 0 or greater. 3. You can now download and install the mod.Uninstallation 1. Open console and type (StopQuest CHHerding). 2. Save the game. 3. Uninstall the mod.
Loading As soon as you load your game with this mod your last ridden horse will be added to a herd first. To add other horses simply ride them. If horse does not have unique name it will be given random one which you can later change. Apart from getting unique name nothing new will happen until you buy Herding Equipment from any stable master.
Feature Dscriptions
Herding Equipment Once purchased Full Herding Equipment (backpack w/ flag) will be automatically equipped and all your horses will travel with you. Your carry weight will be increased by 100 points while wearing the equipment. It is now a good moment to decide where you should set a camp for your herd, be it outside of your estate or somewhere in wilderness. Note that you can only set a camp in the main outdoor zone (aka Tamriel). To mark the spot as a herd camp you simply drop the equipment out of your inventory. If all conditions are met then flag will be placed in the front of you and backpack returned to you as a Basic Herding Equipment (backpack w/o flag) to allow you to keep the carry weight bonus. If you do not mark the camp spot and do not wear the equipment horses will simply wait in current location and if you store the equipment somewhere else all horses will travel to their original home locations.Herding Flag Flag marks the spot of your herd camp where all your horses will gather. Flag will be displayed on your map
