📋 About This Mod
✅ Anyway this mod once installed lets your follower have and ride an horse that will spawn near your last ridden horse.
✅ It works with stolen horses, quest horses, but of course works best with stabled horses.
✅ 3 - Once their AI kicks in followers are rather slow (they walk) to catch their horse ( just go.. they will catch up ).
✅ 4 - The AI will not enter combat unless you dismount and so the normal behavior starts.
✅ WIP!!!!! So please post feedback in the comments!
✅ Please ENDORSE if you like it :) Will keep this mod known!

- First of all I really never understood why it wasn\'t in vanilla Skyrim.... business pushing the release my only guess, because was totally unrealistic (even in oblivion etc, actually).
- Anyway this mod once installed lets your follower have and ride an horse that will spawn near your last ridden horse.
- It works with stolen horses, quest horses, but of course works best with stabled horses.
- Note:
- 1 - I suggest you to never mount the follower horse, it may result in the follower mounting yours and after you dismount you\'d have to catch your horse that tries to go back to stables.
- 2 - You can fast travel but note that your follower may not be teleporting with you if you were mounted, IT IS NOT AN ISSUE tho your companion will come back after a while (specially if you transition to doors etc)
- 3 - Once their AI kicks in followers are rather slow (they walk) to catch their horse ( just go.. they will catch up ).
- 4 - The AI will not enter combat unless you dismount and so the normal behavior starts.
- 5 - If your follower is very close to you and you dismount, they may not dismount at first... but once you start moving they will.
- 6 - Follower horses are not owned by the player so they will show with Red name.. this is totally normal! they are not supposed to be mounted by you!
- 7 - If for some reason follower horses aren\'t showing up, mount up on your horse and then dismount.. in few seconds follower horses should show up.
- WIP!!!!! So please post feedback in the comments!
- Please ENDORSE if you like it :) Will keep this mod known!
- P. S.
- This mod doesn\'t edit any vanilla assets/content so it is supposed to work with any mod that improves followers or so... unless they use their own conditions and protocols which I cannot know.
- If your follower doesn\'t mount:
- Followers that don\'t mount are not in the right faction that is why.. it is not my mod fault nor I can do anything about it.. for the game they are not followers internally.. You can fix with console tho, scroll down in the comments , someone posted it already:
- try this console command:
- \"addtofaction 5C84D 1\" with your follower selected.
- (Thanks ChiaraFee for testing this)
- Big thanks to DamarStiehl for helping me debug some crazy thing Bethesda set up for us modders :)

- UPDATE 1. 74:
- Fixed possible CTD with animal followers.
- UPDATE 1. 73:
- Removed the forgotten debug text.
- Improved followers AI when mounting and following.
- UPDATE 1. 72:
- Hopefully fixed the bug that prevented this mod to work properly.
- Followers again will mount up a little bit slower.. but this is to allow max speed while mounted.
- UPDATE 1. 71:
- Fixed a possible issue that could prevent followers to mount up!
- UPDATE 1. 7:
- Renamed follower\'s horses to \"Follower\'s Horse\".
- Removed any code related to horse behavior, your current (player) horse may still run away.. to return it in vanilla state:
- Open console, click your horse, type \"setav confidence 1\"
- Follower\'s

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, this mod likely won't work — look for a port or alternative.
- Make sure you have a horse yourself first; followers will only mount when you do.
- Try it on a save before committing — since it's old, test for crashes or weird behavior.
