Good news for horsmen:

Quertee sends regards.
He has remade http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8766 and joined some other mods with it, quote from the original release post:

Horse commands http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8766
4.0, 18 September 2009:

* Horse commands 4.0,
* Horse speed equals player speed 1.8,
* Own stolen horses over time (previously unreleased),
* Simple saddlebags (previously unreleased)

Hope we'll enjoy it and many more

I have a horse mod request. A quick dismount function.

(Senario) I'm riding though a lovely field of flowers enjoying the moruning sun. When a wolf sneaks up (bettermusicmod) and starts biting my mounts butt.

I slowly dismount (lalalal) and proceed to get attacked from behind and die at my mounts feet. (dukes geometery mod). Oh how nice it would be to be able to Leap from my horse wipping out my blade and spank the wolf for disturbing my bliss.

This obviously fits in the 'just an idea' category, because I haven't put much thought into how it could be implemented, but...
One thing I've always thought was lacking in the game (with regard to horses and realism) is that the stables have little real function other than to sell horses, and in one case, to give away horse armor. After you buy your horse (and I only buy one per character/game), they're nothing but a free parking lot... nothing to see here folks! ... when realistically, it costs money to feed and maintain horses. There aren't any farriers, either--when the horses very obviously wear shoes. Surely the stables would have to charge for their services, and would be more than willing to tap into the overabundance of money in the game... keeping horses is a business, after all. An adventurer's horse should be kept fit, with its equipment in good condition--swords and armor wear down, why not saddles?; not to mention those live in town have to have someplace to house their horses when they're not using them. And I suppose those that don't have money enough to put their horses up would probably end up leaving them at a camp outside the city (and risk having them stolen).

I'm not sure if this sort of thing would rightfully be called part of an Economic overhaul or a fatigue mod (I've just been playing Betrayal at Krondor, where the quality of rest depends on where you sleep, so I suppose it could), or should be something else entirely. But with OBSE and all the awesome scripters onboard these days ... any thoughts on whether or not this kind of mod would be possible?

Thanks for adding Espless Slof's Horse Replacer. ^_^

Just a quote regarding compatibilty from my RELz topic:

Yo Blade Of Mercy. If ya haven't notice, Mr_Siikas made http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27612. Just let ya know.

Camels! I love camels!
But... modders resource only?
Come on! Who will make them playable! going... going... anyone?

Guys, how about this bijou here?
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27675 by AlienSlof and Phaedra.

Now not only you can have Slof's horses for every mod that adds horses, but you can remove Ulrim's mod Tamriel Travellers Horse Retexture (save a slot)
However, I think you need the newest mart's monster Mods_Slofs Horses.esp as it adds to the game both Solf's Horses 2.0 and the Slof's Extra Horses pack.
besides, if you play Bartholm or Aesgaard 2 and so on, now their horses will be Slof horses!
How about that?

Thanks, AlienSlof and Phaedra, Corepc and all you guys who make this wonder-megagame!

We have updated to include reins, still espless!

http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2341367970101328736DuSGfE comes from Mart's Monster mod - which uses http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14265

As I am absolutely illiterate in modding could someone be so nice and make an esp making this nice donkey ridable?

http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1057886 is what Corepc says on the subject

Any mods that make horse movement realistic?? Like mount and blade, you don't go from a slow walk to a full gallop in an instant. (Which is Fn retarded btw)

Any news about my donkey?
One would think with this being a role-playing game, there are enough monks, pilgrims and ambulants out there who would ride a humble donkey or mule rather than a war horse...

On page 1 in the Controls section the first listed mod (Mounted Combat OBSE - link included there) does to great extend what you just want.
Install, pres W and enjoy the ride.

Edit: good news for donkey riders:
1. Mondstein made http://www.mediafire.com/?0ngjzjqznyl which you can find at Weynon Priory. After you've installed the mod . Thanks, Mondstein!
2. Mr. Siika has made ridable donke available in his mod mod Castle Seaview.
3. Corepc took note of the fact that the MMM donkeys have the horseshoe icon but lack the idle animation allowing us to ride them. But he says: No saddles, you will have to suffer a bumpy ride

My paint horse on xbox360 died and i dno why but i really felt a bit sad knewing i could'nt ressurect on xbox (only with the staff of worms i think but i did'nt have) Then about 2 minutes later i remember i had an autosave and then i reloaded my game to avoid the enemies that killed my horse and i felt happy again. P.S I have oblivion on my PC too.

Hey Blade Of Mercy, just to let ya know that http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1062133 now exist. This should make any companions use horses. Here the link to the TES Nexus site:

Does anyone know if there's a specific place to find a Unicorn with ''Slofs Oblivion Horses'' or are they just randomly in the wilderness someware?

Slof's Black Unicorn comes as a stand-alone mod and AFAIK she never included unicorns in her Slofs Horses Base or Slofs Horses Exrta Pack. First post has link to get the unicorn.

Is Mounted Combat from 2007 still the most up-to-date horse combat mod? Given that it's 3 years old, I wonder if there's been an update or a more recent mod. I also worry that it might be incompatible with more recent (non-horse-related) mods. Thanks.

Deadly Reflex 4 (2008) included horse combat, so I guess that would be the newest. But note that the mounted combat portion of Deadly Reflex was disabled in v.5, with promises that it will be re-enabled in v.6 when it is released... should be soon, I would hope.

Deadly Refloex is out and while still in beta state, it allows dedicated riders to enjoy horse combat and spellcasting.
