I was wondering what everyones favorite ride through Cyrodiil was, right now ive decided to download an elephant mod but was wondering what mount mods you have used and liked

There were the Saiden Storm mounts, but that mod caused a crash at the IC stables, so I had to get rid of it.
Other than that, i use vanilla horses, improved visually in MMM.

Screenshot of Buffy's horse, http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv43/Acadian6/Cho%20Bk%201/ScreenShot679.jpg .

She is a basic black mare from Cheydinhal with some tweaks.

Her appearance, realistic behavior and two sets of saddlebags are courtesy of a small number of mods.

Her extra speed, ability to enter cities and the fact that she has been renamed (from My Black Horse to Superian) are thanks to the command console.

That she can follow Buffy and walk on water when requested is due to custom-made vanilla spells.

The Imperial Legion Mountain Riders will tell you that there's no substitute for http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/26343-1-1249686020.jpg.but they won't let just anybody ride them. Apparently you just don't smell right.

A little OT :spotted owl: : i use "Phitt Roaming NPC" mod and I notice 1 thing: the saddlebag texture is look odd (in my opinion). Someone know a HD texture replacement for that ?

I like http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll54/pero_lozhach/asdsdsds.jpg shire horses from WAC.

I personally love my grullo horse, Robber Baron, very much. I came by him courtesy of Slof's Extra Horses.

I love my personal editted akatosh mount and my paladin horse from lost paladins.

I've always meant to try Personal Pack Guars from corepc, but my mod list is more or less full. It would be great to ride a guar, methinks!

I use Guar mod. Unfortunately, there's a small glitch with mounting animation (when mounting animation unmounts) and in my opinion they are too small (in Morrowind they seemed lot bigger). But it's a nice mod nonetheless.

I've always had a special place in my heart for the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/15134-2-1202248895.JPG mount.

After the OMPAW-based tutorial on ridable creatures was first posted, there were a whole bunch of mount mods produced, but not all of them were a success. The bears had a glitch in the walk animation (which is why my use has them running all the time there's a rider) and a few others have issues with mount and dismount.

The sample used the Mountain Lion, and I remember Wolves, Dogs, Sheep, Land Dreugh and Frost Atronach, and even a Slaughterfish, although that may have only been available underwater. I think the Balliwog from SI got the same treatment.

I used to have a mod with ogres and tigers as mounts. Wish I could remember which one it was. Now I just use Shadowmere or one of Slof's Horses. Particuarly like the ones added to the Bruma stables.

A snow white destrier, for my Paladin (herself, typically in silver mail or plate, and regalia, etc.). At the moment, her steed is armoured as well, in silver chain and plate barding, with surcoat, saddle and all the trimmings.

My Ranger, on the other hand, normally doesn't travel on horseback, but will if necessary - in this case, it's the fastest things around, thanks. And that happens to be (so far) a sleek black Arabian (-style) mare - unarmoured of course.

My mount-of-choice, both this play-through and the first, has been Arrowspeed, the horse provided by Castle Seaview once one becomes owner of that domicile. It's a right proper beast for a heavily armored knight or warrior with, in my opinion, the best looking head-ornament existent. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn303/Decrepit_Waste/ESIV%20Oblivion/CK_WT2.jpg.

During my first play-through my avatar eventually settled into the role of a roving knight-errant, constantly ahorse seeking adventure and fulfilling contracts. The combination of the Seaview armor and mount were perfect for him, role-play and immersion wise. This play-through, due to the way we handled the Crisis (closing 52 gates in the process!) he became VERY committed to his role as Champion of Cyrodiil (and before that Divine Crusader, in which guise he tackled the Crisis), and now sees himself as a Servant of the Empire. As such he takes pride in his Imperial Dragon Armor and wears it rather than the Seaview armor. That being the case my original thought was to provide him with a different mount. I had settled on one of the armored horses from http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26788. In the end I went with Arrowspeed again both to save an ESP slot and because Zira's horses, while visually excellent, use Medieval Earth-themed patterns rather than Cyrodiil themes.

I was thinking on this the other day, and am surprised that after four years no one has produced such a mod. One like Zira's only with Cyrodiil patterns. Horses whose "clothes" bear emblems for the game's major honorifics. One designed specifically for the Champion of Cyrodiil, whose cloth coloring and emblems complement the Imperial Dragon Armor. Likewise one for the Divine Crusader, Arch-mage and Fighters Guild. There could be horse armors that combine the various honorifics, since one can and often does become both Champion and Crusader, and well as head of at least one guild. (Assassins and thieves should of course be exempted, since those are clandestine organization which shun advertising.) Heck, even the more popular mods might be represented.

Back to the topic at hand, I always modify my mod-provided mounts so that they do NOT check corpses. The pauses caused by that used to drive me bonkers. Also, I slowed Arrowspeed down a good bit, since his standard speed seems too fast for an armored horse carrying a heavily armored knight-errant. In any case the game-world is small enough as it is. Traveling at a super fast rate of speed makes it seem that much smaller.

The one time that i tried a char who used a mount i used this one;

Well for now, my favorite mount is either Centurian Prime from Midas Magic, or the Adorable Guar.

A family favourite sturdy steed (and actually, I quite like him too) http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=33618 - Now includes Platero (for mages), Rucio (for traders) and Puzzle (for evil mages) - All with working saddlebags.

Occasionally he makes himself heard. And fits the bill for roleplay if you choose the simple life of a cleric/mage type. I just like the speed he runs at, just right.
