why...the mod is out? it's very usefull :( this does not work anymore?

Must have. I'm just.. I.. I just die every 5 min, so this mod is useful for me XD

cool <3 it works
thank you silver

will give this one a shot, might have to disable shadowmere essential for testing though

Nevermind. It's just my save

Too bad you're gone. Can't mount Shadowmere :(

Nice

Sometimes the simplest things are the best things - this mod allows me to buy and use vanilla Skyrim horses without having to constantly having to buy a replacement (which since I've otherwise always liked the standard horses, despite fancy mods like the horse summoning spell and the flying broomstick [which I also like and are fun, but sometimes feel too much like cheating - especially the broom!] is a good thing). I've just bought a Markarth horse [my favorite pattern], and already there have been 3 incidents which would have otherwise killed it. Good Job!!

Awesome, simple mod!

love it!

I tried to put it at the very bottom of my mod list, but then happened to have another problem. Suddenly all armor of the horses disappeared ... which is really strange, however there's a good thing out of it, it should really be the Horse Armor mod that conflicts with it, since it immediately reacted when I put your mod below it. I'll keep trying to see what works best though.

It might conflict with the Horse Armor mod for some reason (only mod I can think of), but oddly enough all other horses besides Frost and Shadowmere are invincible. I will see and check if yours is underneath the Horse Armor mod then and see if that might fixes it, if not there's still the console fortunatelly to make them both essential :) other than that I am more than satisfied with your mod!

@ shes-a-rebel
I imagine what you're facing is a compatibility issue. If you try loading this mod after any others you have then it should over rule any conflict. You can do this by using the Skyrim Launcher - Data Files and moving The Essential Horses to the bottom of the list.

I'll also test in game to see if I can duplicate the problem.

For some weird reason Frost seems to die however D:

It works great :D thanks so much for this!

Would rather ride Frost instead of map travel but to affraid some random troll was going to jump out while trotting down the road minding my own business and take him out. Plus Frost likes to fight dragons too have been lucky so far and now I don't have to worry. Thanks!

@ akatanaka and Maire
You're more than welcome. I'm glad it helps you guys enjoy the horses in Skyrim more!

@ eguel2007
I have no idea where to start with a mod like that. I'll have a look into it but I can't promise anything.

This is something that I've wanted since I first got Skyrim (why can't the horses survive a two-foot jump?!), and the mod works like a charm - thankyou! =)

Thanks for taking the stress out of riding. I use my horse so much more now. You've helped to make the game more fun!

can you please make a mod where you and your companion can ride the horse at the same time

@ Robin In The Hood
The mods will try to overwrite each other. If one comes earlier in your load order, that will be given precedence. That means you'll only be able to have one enabled to edit the horses.

This isn't working for me. Im using the fast standard horses mod. Are these not compatible with eachother?

Thank you so much for this mod, was really tired of having to buy 2-3 horses everytime I played because I think I'm spiderman :X

Thanks for this!

:D thank you

Thanks, my horse kept dying from short falls.

Oh, Now I can jump off little cliffs without getting him killed. Many thanks!
