Do you love horses?

[LlamaSprinter]

Many times I get annoyed with my horse or buy a new one. What to do with it? KILL IT! This topic is to why and how you killed your horse?

 

Or if you love your horse tell us some of the adventures you had with it. :)

 

Once I decided my horse was getting old and I had just got shadowmere. I had just got to cloud ruler temple when I though "This place is pretty high, lets launch my horse off of the edge for no reason." So I did. Ride up onto the walls and jump off, then jump off of the mountain, suprised my horse was still alive I rode it into a black bear and ran off. What a lovely master am I...

 

Another time is funny to walk off to kill something and then come back to find my horse being attacked by some imperial legions.

I stole a (paint) horse, and rode it off the Skingrad castle bridge. It died, but it was already somewhat injured... (Walking off that bridge is a convenient shortcut sometimes.)

well the first time i did the DB quest, i had just bought the black horse, before doing the purification quest, so you can imagine my upset when i realize they just gave me a better model free of charge (5000 was alot for me at the time) So i take my newly bought black horse, and go for some serious ass death race riding in the jerall mountains. Several falls later, my horse takes a giant leap of a cliff and falls to its death....I then continued to making the corpse into a pin cushin....i was dealing with the anger....hahaha

Mine committed suicide at Dive Rock.

I fast travelled, looked around and realised I had no horse (not a big thing, it often disappears when I fast travel).

Standing at the rock, I used the Marksman skill zoom function, looked down near Aerin camp and thought "Hey, that looks like a horse laying down there!" Sliding down the rock face to the corpse I found it was mine.

I strongly dislike horses because everytime I ride them in the game bad things happen. Once, a guard killed me because my injured character couldn't get off his horse fast enough. So now I steal every horse I find without a rider and take them to an empty space and kill the horses. Or I sometimes get a long ways away from stables and shoot a heavily poisened and enchanted arrow at horses in stables, all while staying a long way off and able to escape before anybody notices a horse has been killed :ph34r:!

Meh,I prefer running.Since I maxed out my character's speed,horses just slow him down.Have you ever killed a horse with someone still on it?If you can do it before they get off,they dismount from the air,it's funny.

I have ran my horse off of a cliff when I was on it, I fell off the horse when it hit the slope of the hill and died :D . I never use horses because they are slow. I use the map fast travel and run on foot to get around the place.

Ever since I started a new game with OOO and fast travel dissabled, horses have become quite an ussefull asset. My only regret is that you don't level athletism or acrobatics while on horse. Bethsesda should of created a horse ridding skill, where a higher value would improve the control and speed of a horse.

I must admit horses do get on my nerves abit specially Shadowmere, wat is it with that horse, does it always want to get knocked unconcious(sp), or get in my way when im fighting somebody, or something. Only thing it comes in useful for when its unconcious (be it by you or any enemy) is that you can store items in it. At leasts its free though.
