📋 About This Mod
This is my first bit of modding ever, I hope it works ok. If you find a problem with it please let me know, if you can point me in the direction of how to go about fixing it all the better.
This is a slightly modified port of the Shield of the Stallion created for the original Skyrim by Autan Waspeez
There are now light and heavy versions of both the iron shield and the aged corundum one. They are all just versions of the same shield though so only one will work at a time.
The shield can be found leaning against the wall at the rear of Whiterun Stables, tucked behind some crates. It carries an enchantment that boosts stamina and can be upgraded at an armour bench if you have the arcane smithing perk.
Thank you and all credit to Autan Waspeez for creating this in the first place and for permitting me to post the files.
Thank you also to Backstept whose instructions I followed while making this.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid track record with 316 endorsements and over 10k downloads.
- Fills a niche for horse-themed gear in Skyrim SE.
- Straightforward port—no complex dependencies to juggle.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it's likely untouched for years—may have compatibility issues with newer mods.
- Only adds a single shield, so it's a minor addition if you're looking for a full armor set.
- Being a port, it might carry over any quirks from the original mod.
For Skyrim SE players who want a unique horse-themed shield to round out their character's look. If you're a collector of niche armor mods or roleplay as a knight with a horse motif, this is a neat pick. Skip if you're after gameplay changes or a full armor overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple shield mod, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no special setup needed.
- If you're on Skyrim SE, make sure you're using the Special Edition version of the mod, not the original Oldrim one.
- Check the mod's page for any patches if you're using other shield mods that might conflict.
