📋 About This Mod

✅ --FEATURES---
✅ > Buy horse armours and access faction (Imperial/Stormcloak/Dark Brotherhood) saddles to equip your horses with.
✅ > Rename your horses and choose their coat colours.
✅ > Herding, where your horse follows you and the rest of your selected horses follow your horse.

Adds stabling, horse commands, horse herding, horse whistle and follower riding. Also adds horse armors and makes horses oblivious to combat and crime. All options and commands are accessed through dialogue with hostlers, the horses themselves, or your followers. Requires SKSE. Compatible with SkyTEST. Unofficial patches, as always, recommended.

A/N: This mod is provided as is because I only sporadically have time to mod. I'm really sorry if this mod doesn't work for you and I can't help you with it. There are (far better!) alternatives! Good luck and game on :)

  • --FEATURES---
  • > Stable all ten player horses at any given Vanilla stable, as well as at the currently active Dark Brotherhood sanctuary.
  • > Buy horse armours and access faction (Imperial/Stormcloak/Dark Brotherhood) saddles to equip your horses with.
  • > Rename your horses and choose their coat colours.
  • > Smart follow, including no-follow when your character is sneaking and dismissal to the individual horse’s currently assigned stable.
  • > Herding, where your horse follows you and the rest of your selected horses follow your horse.
  • > Horse inventory (unshared), accessible either by dialogue or by activating your horse while holding the key.
  • > Follower riding for each player horse, with the option to ride even when your character is on foot. This is separate from the Vanilla follower system, meaning you can have up to ten extra followers.
  • > Protected and oblivious horses, with no horse witnesses. All factions should ignore your horse when attacking you.
  • > Lesser powers to whistle for your horse to come and to settle your horse to wait, automatically added to your character.

---DESCRIPTION---

This mod adds dialogue to the hostlers, horses, and potential followers in your game. The hostlers include Nazir of the Dark Brotherhood, and whomever you choose for your Hearthfire stewards. NOTE: If you're the kind of player who just wants to get on his horse and go, this mod is not for you. The dialogue with the horses activates when you mount, so you have to get through it (one quick selection) before you are given control of your horse.

The dialogue for the hostlers is as follows:  > Let’s talk stabling: Main hostler dialogue branch.  > I wanted to leave my horses with you: Stable your current horse/s with this hostler and dismiss it/them, or have horses transferred from other stables.  > I wanted to buy some horse armor: Buy horse armours or saddles. Options include mystikhybrid’s Horse Armours, faction saddles (Imperial, Stormcloak – my retex of the Imperial saddle – and Dark Brotherhood), and a bridle for bareback. > I was wondering which Hold had the best horses: Indicate your preference for the horses from a certain region of Skyrim; the horse from this stab

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid endorsement ratio (216 endorsements from 2,799 downloads) shows players appreciate it.
  • Covers multiple horse features in one mod—stabling, commands, herding, whistle, follower riding, and armors.
  • Makes horses ignore combat and crime, which is a nice quality-of-life touch for adventurers.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016—likely outdated and may not work with current game versions.
  • Requires dialogue with hostlers, which might be clunky if you're used to hotkey-based horse controls.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who want deeper horse management and utility, like herding and follower riding. If you're on an older game version and enjoy roleplaying with horses, this is worth a look. Skip if you're on the latest patch or prefer lightweight mods.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2016, check if your game version is compatible before installing—older mods often break with updates.
  • Look for hostlers in major cities or stables to access the new dialogue options.
  • If you use a mod manager, consider installing manually to avoid potential conflicts with newer mods.
