📋 About This Mod
Features
-
[]Summon Companions: Blow a horn to call your companions to your side. Companions will respond even if you've told them to wait somewhere. If you have SKSE installed, you can use the 'H' key to blow a horn if you have one in your inventory. This key is remappable via MCM. If you do not have SKSE installed, you can still click on the horn in your inventory to blow it.
[
]Summon Your Horse: This mod also includes the option to call for your horse when blowing the horn. By default this option is disabled, but you can enable it easily via MCM. Note: your horse won't respond if you blow the horn from another province, planes of Oblivion, or from an interior.[]Draw the Attention of Enemies: Blowing the horn will also draw the attention of your enemies. Use it to lure enemies toward you or to keep enemies off softer and squishier friendly NPCs.
[]Lore Friendly Integration: Horns are automatically added to the list of random items that general stores sell, and to random chests and containers. They aren't a commonly found item so you'll need to keep your eyes open as you travel.
An MCM is included that allows you to toggle all features added by this mod.
See the Readme File for more information.
Requirements
For the MCM you will need SKSE and SkyUI. To be able to use the Hotkey you will need SKSE. Without it, you can still blow horns by clicking on them in your inventory.
A VR / VRIK Compatible version is now available.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 556 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Lore-friendly integration—horns appear naturally in shops and loot.
- Works without SKSE (click horn in inventory), but full features need it.
⚠️ Cons
- Horse won't respond from other provinces, Oblivion planes, or interiors—limits usefulness.
- Requires SKSE and SkyUI for MCM and hotkey; without them, features are reduced.
- Horns are rare in loot, so you might not find one early without console commands.
For Skyrim players who hate tracking down followers or want a quick way to regroup. Also great for players who want to use the horn as a tactical tool to pull enemies. Skip if you prefer follower overhaul mods that change AI behavior—this is purely a summoning tool.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you don't have SKSE, you can still use the horn by clicking it in your inventory—no hotkey needed.
- Enable the horse summoning option in MCM if you want to call your mount, but remember it won't work indoors or in other realms.
- Use the horn to lure enemies into traps or away from weak NPCs—it's a great crowd control tool.
