Horses from HELL! and other things.

Why is there no option to send your horse to a stable or something? You can tell your dog ta wait but the only option with a horse is to get on or off, I ask becos these horses seemingly have no brains and rush into ANY battle whether win or loose and it's not like i want my horse to fast travel with me wherever i go, i mean if it's in a stable then it's in a stable, if i choose to take it from the stable then i'd expect it ta follow me.

Also, why can't I attack while jumping or flying through the air?

One more...

I'v been pushed off a cliff by lydia many times now, how is it that she can push me around but when shes blocking the way that i cant push her?

Being able to choose to stable your horse is actually a really good idea.. I hate my stupid horse.

Forget everything else, THIS. THIS THIS THIS.

I am so sick of carefully sneaking up on my victims only to have a companion SHOVE me to the side at the exact moment I loose an arrow, thereby missing the kill shot and alerting them and all their friends to come reign death down on my head. What's worse is their follow distance is JUST SO that they seem to block every single doorway in the game and I cannot actually shove them aside. Best case scenario, I back up far enough to sprint at them, and then they complain I'm in a hurry. ;P


Edited: I would actually like it if stolen or recovered horses stopped immediately walking away. I stole you. You belong to me, now. Seriously, in real life, horses don't really care who you are, they will stay put and not immediately begin the 5-mile trek back to their old master. I can't dismount to kill anything or pick or flower or squat diddily. >(

I don't use horses

I don't use followers

They both just get in the way, do an average job of what it is they're doing and have the clear potential to ruin my best laid strategies.

I prefer to work alone, and if I need support I'll conjure something

If you are on the PC, get the mod Cowardly Horses. It makes horses viable again:

I thought you could? If she's blocking the door and I walk into her, she eventually says "Oh" or something and takes 2-3 steps back.
