📋 About This Mod
Horses take less falling damage, by about 45%. That's it! (esl flagged)
Would require some patching for mod horses.
(Also, you'll want to patch things if you have other mods that edit the vanilla horse npc records)

A simple gameplay tweak that reduces fall damage for horses by about 45% in Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition. ESL-flagged for zero plugin slot usage, but requires patching if you use mods that alter vanilla horse NPC records.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny, focused mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat
- ESL-flagged means it won't eat a load order slot
- Light on endorsements (44) but solid download count (13k) shows people are using it
⚠️ Cons
- Will conflict with any mod that edits vanilla horse NPC records—you'll need to patch those yourself
- Mod-added horses won't get the reduced fall damage without extra patching
- No patches provided for popular horse overhauls, so compatibility is on you
For Skyrim players who are tired of their horse dying from a small cliff drop and want a quick, lightweight fix. Skip if you use mods that overhaul horses or add new horse types—you'll have to do extra work to make this play nice.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use mods like Convenient Horses or Immersive Horses, expect conflicts—you'll need to create a patch in xEdit to merge the changes.
- Place this mod low in your load order so its changes to horse records aren't overwritten by other mods.
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can safely add it to any load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
