📋 About This Mod
Sends the wild horses to a nearby stable after taming. No more searching the wilderness when you want to swap mounts!
This Skyrim mod makes the seven wild horses from the Horse Whisperer quest return to stables in their respective cities when dismissed, instead of wandering back into the wilderness. It uses previously unused game packages and markers, so it adds no new content. A quality-of-life fix for players who tame multiple wild horses.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real annoyance—no more tracking down your wild horses across Skyrim after dismissing them.

⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the seven wild horses from the Horse Whisperer quest; other tamed horses are untouched.
